Description
The following commands that provide an invalid IRF result in an error message that is not very informative. Proper checking of the IRF existence should be implemented.
$ ctobssim RA of pointing (degrees) (0-360) [267.68]] 83.63 Dec of pointing (degrees) (-90-90) [-29.6] 22.01 Radius of FOV (degrees) (0-180) [5.0] Start time (MET in s) [0.0] End time (MET in s) [34200] 1800.0 Lower energy limit (TeV) [0.1] Upper energy limit (TeV) [100.0] Calibration database [prod2] /usr/local/gamma/share/caldb/data/cta Instrument response function [South_50h] prod2/bcf/South_50h Model [model_ics_small.xml] $CTOOLS/share/models/crab.xml Output event data file or observation definition file [events.fits] *** ERROR encounterted in the execution of ctobssim.

I added some code to the CTA response loader methods that first checks whether the response files do exist. Now, the above example gives the following result:
$ ctobssim RA of pointing (degrees) (0-360) [83.63] Dec of pointing (degrees) (-90-90) [22.01] Radius of FOV (degrees) (0-180) [5.0] Start time (MET in s) [0.0] End time (MET in s) [1800.0] Lower energy limit (TeV) [0.1] Upper energy limit (TeV) [100.0] Calibration database [prod2] /usr/local/gamma/share/caldb/data/cta Instrument response function [South_50h] prod2/bcf/South_50h *** ERROR encounterted in the execution of ctobssim. Run aborted ... *** ERROR in GCTAResponseIrf::load_aeff(std::string&): File error. File "/usr/local/gamma/share/caldb/data/cta/prod2/bcf/South_50h" not found. Please specify a valid effective area response file.
