After installing the VIMOS Pipeline Recipes, do
$ esorex –help vmbias
to check if it finds the recipes at all. For me it didn’t and I got an error saying
[georgiana@localhost ~]$ esorex –help vmbias
esorex — ESO Recipe Execution Tool, version 1.0.1
ERROR : Unable to find recipe “vmbias”
Bummer. I had to configure-build-install the Recipes again, this time using the info in the VIMOS Manual (why the heck can’t they write this in the README file?!). Go to the vimos-1.3.1p directory and do
$ ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/pipeline –with-cpl=/usr/local/cpl –with-qfits=/usr/local/qfits –with-cext=/usr/local/cpl
and then
$ make
$ su
$ make install
Exit su mode. Now create an EsoRex configuration file with
$ esorex –create-config –recipe-dir=/usr/local/pipeline/lib/vimos/plugins/vimos-1.3.1
Ignore the warnings.
I also added this path to my .bashrc:
export PIPE_HOME=$PATH:/usr/local/pipeline/lib/vimos/plugins/vimos-1.3.1
Then I did
$ cd
$ source .bashrc
$ esorex –help vmbias
and finally got the happy
[georgiana@localhost ~]$ esorex –help vmbias
