The code smaflux.for has not been changed since Feb. 17, 2007.
So in beta 1.3.1, 'SmaFlux: version 1.1 17-02-07' has been kept.
In other words, you were using the latest version of smaflux but
the out-of-date ephemeris catalogs which caused you the fatal error
in smaflux. The problem should have gone by using
the beta Miriad 1.3.1 where the ephemeris has been updated.

      Please use beta Miriad 1.3.1. Here is the tarball of the binary
codes (beta 1.3.1) which contains the latest version of "smaflux":

Dear Jun-Hui,

I understand that you must have a lot of things to do, but
I would be very much appreciate if I can get the latest 'smaflux' now
because I need to combine a few tracks.

I think my computer has Red hat 6.0 operating system,
so perhaps sending me a binary code would work?


cheers,

I meant "ephemeris".

Dear Shih-Ping,
      The beta 1.3.1 has updated the emphemeris catalogs for the solar
objects but has made no changes to the smaflux code; the fatal error
caused by the old emphemeris data catalogs should have gone.
Good catching! We will update the version number of SMAFLUX to reflect
the ephemeris updating in our next release.

Dear Jun-Hui,

I did follow the regular installation steps, and I am able
to read 4GHz data with polarization and even get fantastic results.
My only problem is that smaflux came with smaMiriad20May2011.tar
is not the newest version according to you.
Here are some inquiry of the version information

MIRIAD version <<<<<<< VERSION: beta 1.3.1. 2011-05-20 for handling
SMA 4GHz and 2GHz mode data. >>>>>>>  [CVS] loaded from
MIR=/n/astromake/opt/miriad_cvs

[slai@sky ~]$ which smaflux

Dear Jun-Hui,

Thanks for your response, but I really just downloaded
smaMiriad20May2011.tar few days ago from the link you provided.
Could you please tell me how to update  smauvspec and smaflux to newer
verion?

Many thanks!!

Shih-Ping

Dear Shih-Ping,
   Again your version of Miriad for SMA data reduction appears
to be out of date. The Fatal Error in "smaflux" that you reported is
related to the ephemeris of the solar objects which has been
updated in the beta release (SMA beta release 1.3.1).
