[/code:1:79a7c2cb71]Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?I have set the following:setenv iraf /iraf/iraf/
setenv IRAFARCH linux
source $iraf/unix/hlib/irafuser.cshand my $hlib/extern.pkg includes the following lines:reset fitsutil = /iraf/extern/fitsutil/
task fitsutil.pkg = fitsutil$fitsutil.clI'm using a new computer with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, with IRAF 2.14.1 installed.Thanks!

The simplest solution is to use the prebuilt binaries from the Downloads area (you can use the 'redhat' binaries, just rename the bin.redhat directory to bin.linux).Otherwise, the question is to figure out why the xpp.e/rpp.e commands can't be executed. These should be in the $iraf/unix/bin.linux directory on your machine, do they exist there? If not, try copying the contents of $iraf/unix/bin.redhat to $iraf/unix/bin.linux (I seem to remember a version going out without the proper binaries). OTOH, if the binaries *do* exist then try[code:1:81b1c248cb]ldd $iraf/unix/bin.linux/xpp.e[/code:1:81b1c248cb]and look for any missing shared libs. Especially on 64-bit systems you may need to install various 32-bit compatibility libs for things to work properly. Hope this helps.
