Hi Gulab,

gulabd_at_email.domain.hidden> ISIS 1.4.9-30 is not able to load the new xspec12 models available with xspec 12.5.0a (heasoft 6.6). After compiling ISIS, the "make check" command results in the following error.

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem, but I once had a 
problem in ISIS with a local model (compiled agains HEADAS 6.3 or so) 
that worked with xspec. The solution was that the file lmodel.dat with 
the parameter definitions (Could this be $specfile?) contained an 
unusual separator (probably a comma or quotation marks... sorry, I don't 
remember exactly), which were accepted by xspec in a more sloppy way.

Cheers,

Manfred
