Description
While I understand that users should spend some time actually looking at the configuration files and setting up their own site.config file, it would be helpful if the default install produced a 'site.config' file (as is referenced by the default 'ipprc.config') so that at least running IPP commands doesn't immediately fail with messages like:
[wwoodvas@master src]$ psphot -file ~/workspace/sm050926/2/waa1.050926_0010.069_2.sw.fits test.phot
Error reading arguments
-> pmConfigFileRead (pmConfig.c:180): parameter is out-of-range
Error: String name is NULL or empty.
-> psphotArguments (psphotArguments.c:24): Problem in configure files
Can't read site configuration
While this seems obvious enough once you understand it, it took me about 30 minutes to figure this out.
This processes of customizing the site.config file and other files should also be explicitly described with sufficient examples to get something basically working in the INSTALL file in the source tree psconfig directory.
