ppSim: Warnings about mask values

[Sebastian Jester]

I run ppsim from

svn export -r {2009-04-14} ​https://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/repo/ipp/trunk/ ./svn-20090414

and get warnings about mask values:

$ ppSim -camera SIMTEST -type BIAS raw/simtest.000.000

No idea what they mean - should I worry?

It means your MASKS recipe is old (it's looking for new names, which don't exist in the old configuration). Not a terrible error, but worth warning about. Check your SYSTEM configuration and ensure it has, under RECIPES:

MASKS STR recipes/masks.16bit.config # Mask values

If you can't find this, try running with "-trace psModules.config 3" and you should get the files loaded by the configuration system.

I had this on my machine too, because the installed SYSTEM configuration was overriden in the PATH.
