*Error*: wrong array syntax for keyword MAG_APER

[silaslaycock]

I installed on a Mac from home-brew this version: SExtractor 2.25.0
It works but with one big problem, no APERTURE magnitudes. I do the usual uncommenting in default.param to select what I need, and it will give me coordinates, and ISO apertures.

MAG_APER Fixed aperture magnitude vector [mag]
#MAGERR_APER RMS error vector for fixed aperture mag. [mag]

Gives: "> Setting catalog parameters
Error: wrong array syntax for keyword MAG_APER"

and the corresponding error when I ask for FLUX_APER etc...

Hi,
I had the same issue, I fixed the problem by commenting (adding an hashtag) before the descriptions "Flux vector within fixed circular aperture(s) " and "RMS error vector for aperture flux(es)" inside the default.param file.
Hope it helps
