[daip] VLBAEOPS / problem with downloading usno_finals.erp

[Cristiana Spingola]

Hi,

I am using AIPS 31DEC17 to perform the data reduction of a VLBA dataset.
I found that VLBAEOPS has problems in connecting to the website gemini.gsfc.nasa.gov <http://gemini.gsfc.nasa.gov/> to download the file called “usno_finals.erp”.

After running the task I get the following messages:

AIPS: 'ATTEMPTING TO DOWNLOAD FILE WITH CORRECT EOPS'
AIPS: SYSTEM command to be executed is:
AIPS: which wget >> /dev/tty /usr/bin/wget
AIPS: 'DOWLOAD FILE:'
AIPS: SYSTEM command to be executed is:
AIPS: wget -O /tmp/usno_finals.erp http://gemini.gsfc.nasa.gov/solve_s

AIPS: 'Download the file manually from:'
AIPS: 'http://gemini.gsfc.nasa.gov/solve_save/usno_finals.erp'
AIPS: 'AND RUN CLCOR WITH OPCODE=EOPS.'

I tried to manually download the file as indicated by the message, but it seems that it does no longer exist.
Is this file getting updated? Do you have a mirror site where I can download “usno_finals.erp”?

It seems to not be a problem with eduroam connection, as I ran this task also using other networks.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Cristiana
