PyIMSL failing to read imsl_e.bin

[fik]

There is a problem with PyIMSL if the user calls a function that generates an error. It seems to be failing to read the error file. Here is the script to generate an error:

from numpy import *
from imsl.stat.autocorrelation import autocorrelation
from imsl.stat.partialAutocorrelation import partialAutocorrelation
lag_max = 5
inputData = [1,2,3,4,5]
AC = autocorrelation(inputData, lag_max)

And here is the output:


Error in reading imsls_e.bin
File not found.
Terminal - autocorrelation: Error code 11226.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "corr.py", line 9, in <module>
AC = autocorrelation(inputData, lag_max)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/imsl/stat/autocorrelation.py", line 78, in autocorrelation
fatalErrorCheck (STAT)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/imsl/util/i*.py", line 536, in fatalErrorCheck
_statErrorHandler.handleError ()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/imsl/util/ImslErrorHandler.py", line 232, in handleError
raise ImslError (_imslErrorType, _imslErrorCode, _imslErrorMessage)
imsl.util.ImslError.ImslError: 5 (11226): Error code 11226.



Does any one know why it can't read the imsls_e.bin? This file seems to be in the right place. The user have even added a print statement to the ImslErrorHandler function and it does seem to construct the correct path and filename for this file.

this problem is on UNIX, Linux 64b Redhat enterprise 4

Thanks

Hello fik,

We have been able to reproduce the error on one of our Linux 64-bit systems.
However, I don't know what is causing this problem.
It may be due to a corrupt error file.
I have filed a change request to have one our engineers investigate this further.
I'll let you know once we have a solution. So, keep checking the forums.

Regards,
Anja

This problem has been fixed in the latest version (1.0.1) of the PyIMSL wrappers.
