Index Error - Not readable

[mashbudj]

Hi, this is my question:
I am new to using the astrometry.net software. It has been installed in my /user/local/ directory, with the build directory astrometry.net-0.50 off my home directory. I downloaded several indexes (all labeled index-42XX-YY.fits) that say “are built from the 2MASS catalog,” and then moved them into my /user/local/astrometry/data directory. Here is what I get when I try to solve a field or perform astrometry from my home directory,

You must list at least one index in the config file (/usr/local/astrometry/bin/../etc/astrometry.cfg)

See http://astrometry.net/use.html about how to get some index files.

solve-field.c:529:run_engine engine failed. Command that failed was:
/usr/local/astrometry/bin/astrometry-engine /Users/mashbudj/photometry/LFC/PSRJ1622/g_band/restart/dnpccd.068.1.axy
ioutils.c:569:run_command_get_outputs Command failed: return value 255

Strangely, it continues to look for indexes that are no longer in /usr/local/astrometry/data/, (I have these below)
index-4203-29.fits
index-4201-29.fits index-4204-29.fits
index-4202-29.fits index-4205-07.fits
How do I get the program to recognize these files?

I only find astrometry.net-0.50/etc/astrometry.cfg in the build directory (adding names there did not work either). And there is no command called ‘install-indexes’ that I can find, does this mean I built it wrong?

I don't have any *skdt.fits or *quad.fits files; should these be downloaded, or am I supposed to create them? If so, how do I do that?

Thank you.

Hi,

I would have expected the config file to get copied to /usr/local/astrometry/etc/astrometry.cfg

It should contain something like,

add_path /usr/local/astrometry/data
autoindex

and solve-field should just then try opening all files in /usr/local/astrometry/data .

Could you please send the results of running:

find /usr/local/astrometry

Don't worry about the *.skdt.fits, *.code.fits complaints -- way back in the olden days, the index files were split into three files; now they're merged together in one file.

There is no install-indexes command, it's just a makefile target to copy index files to /usr/local/astrometry/data.

cheers,

Just can’t seem to open them,

Had a bit of a problem with netpbm earlier, but
Might be unrelated.

You are right, there is the file
/usr/local/astrometry//etc/astrometry.cfg
but it already has the line included:
add_path /usr/local/astrometry/data
with autoindex and my indexes listed too.

Thank you for the quick reply :)

Hi,

I would have expected the config file to get copied to /usr/local/astrometry/etc/astrometry.cfg

It should contain something like,

add_path /usr/local/astrometry/data
autoindex

and solve-field should just then try opening all files in /usr/local/astrometry/data .

Could you please send the results of running:

find /usr/local/astrometry

Don't worry about the *.skdt.fits, *.code.fits complaints -- way back in the olden days, the index files were split into three files; now they're merged together in one file.

There is no install-indexes command, it's just a makefile target to copy index files to /usr/local/astrometry/data.

cheers,

Apologies for dropping the ball on this issue!

I'm going to close this issue, assuming that you have given up or solved the problem; please re-open it if not.

(And please send exact contents of the config file /usr/local/astrometry//etc/astrometry.cfg . You should either set "autoindex" or list your index files, not both. One other thing to check is whether you can read those index files -- eg, what do you get if you run "liststruc /usr/local/astrometry/data/index-4201-29.fits"?)
