We have a processing pipeline that calls the stand-alone
IRAF tasks ( e.g. x_images.e ) from the shell. This works
fine on our 32-bit systems but not on our 64-bits redhat system.
(It gives a memory corruption error upon opening a FITS file.)
It works fine from the CL as well.So my question is, is there a straightforward environment
setup that will allow us to call the stand-alone (32-bit) stand-alone
IRAF tasks on the 64-bit OS?

Hi Mo,See my reply in https://iraf.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85593 just within the last hour. Calling iraf executables from a shell is a similar situation and should be fixed in the same way. Do you guys still use ksh for this stuff?Cheers,

Hi Mike,
Great - that did the trick. I added the 'limit -s unlimited' command
and then the stand-alone tasks worked fine. (But I don't seem
to need to do that on 32-bit OS.)
Our latest pipeline is using vanilla 'bash' since a lot of the
scientists like to take it and run on their laptops as well.Cheers,
Maureen
