I'm trying to compile IRAF for SuSE 10.0, but I'm not getting very far. I'm pretty sure I'm missing the sources for the core and noao binaries.Should I need more than the as.pcix.gen file to do a from-scratch compile? If so, where do I get the other sources?Thanks.

Hi Ed,The as.pcix.gen file contains all the sources for the system, however you shouldn't normally need to compile yourself. The process for doing a 'sysgen' is described in the Unix Site Manager's Guide (see https://iraf.net/irafdocs/unixsmg/) but be aware it isn't a single-step process.For SuSE 10 you can use the redhat binaries (the RHUX architecture) but simply install them in a 'bin.suse' directory, i.e. put ib.rhux.x86 in /iraf/irafbin/bin.suse and nb.rhux.x86 in /iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.suse. You should also copy the contents of iraf$unix/bin.redhat to iraf$unix/bin.suse for completeness. Note there aren't currently SuSE binaries for v2.13 and the SuSE arch will likely be merged into a more general 'linux'. Hope this helps.Cheers,

I have the redhat binaries running on our suse system, but I figured I'd try to get real suse binaries just in case.I haven't been able to get the bootstrap to work. It claims to be doing a NOVOS boot, but tries to find a bunch of sources in the iraf/irafbin/bin.suse directory that don't exist.Anyway, if you say that there's no functional difference between the redhat binaries and the suse ones I would make, I'll just use the redhat ones.Thanks!
