Greetings.
I am having issues with getting funpack to cooperate on each of two linux machines with IRAF installed on them (Ubuntu 14 and Linux Mint 17). So both machines have IRAF installed. I followed the directions at
http://www.iac.es/sieinvens/siepedia/pmwiki.php?n=HOWTOs.IrafMacOSX

and I changed a few things as necessary to use the linux distribution of IRAF, iraf.lnux.x86_64.tar.gz

After I install tcsh and csh on linux, the installation works, and I can install external packages, do mkiraf, and type cl to get IRAF started...

The problem is when I want to use funpack, on an image, such as from program 2014A-0157,
c4d_140703_051301_opi_r_v2.fits.fz

it works on my Pro Macbook, but I receive the following message on either of the linux boxes when I use funpack:


1.7.0 (Dec 2013) CFITSIO version 3.370

Wed. 21:00:13 27-Apr-2016
Wed. 21:00:13 27-Apr-2016

1 images, 0.00 seconds per image, 0:00:00.0 elapsed

input: 281.206 MB


...and no .fits file is created. I've also tested other .fits.fz files and the same thing happens, no .fits file is created and 0 seconds have elapsed.
What's going on?

This appears to be some form of incompatibility in the binary, i.e. the binary that compressed the file is newer than the one you're trying to use to uncompress it. I can reproduce the problem on a linux64 system using that particular file and the linux64 binary distributed with the FITSUTIL package (I get a segfault), but not using a more recent version of funpack.

So, I've updated the binaries in the FITSUTIL package. You can install the update by reinstalling the package (e.g. "cd $iraf/extern; make fitsutil") or by getting just the replacement binaries from:

ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v216/support/linux64/funpack (and 'fpack' as well)

Download in binary mode and use these to replace the binaries in your fitsutil$bin.linux64 directory.
