Hello,Did anyone install scisoft-iraf succesfully on a Suse 10.2. There is crazy problem of libf2c. I installed f2c but it did not provide it.Interestingly, I can install scisoft-iraf to Suse 10.1 without libf2c. Namely, Iraf is working and there is no libf2c in the system. :shock: And another question, did you try it with yum?Best wishes,

There is a libf2c.a (and f2c.h) in the iraf$unix/bin.suse directory you can install manually, but it should be found automatically. In v2.13 where there is nothing in $iraf/unix/bin.suse, just copy (NOTE: copy, not move) the contents of $iraf/unix/bin.redhat to $iraf/unix/bin.suse. -Mike

OK, thank you very much for your reply.However, i tried to install "scisoft-iraf" and there is no something like
iraf$unix/bin.suse directory in the machine. It will just create a directory named /scisoft to the base, when installation finish.Regards.

Scisoft does weird things to bury the path. If /iraf/iraf/unix/bin.suse doesn't work, log into the CL and issue the commands:[code:1:a6726020e4]
cl> cd host$
cl> path
[/code:1:a6726020e4]That will tell you the path to the iraf$unix directory, there should be a 'bin.suse' and 'bin.redhat' in there.-Mike

Great way, I did not know that.But, it is something like paradox. Becuse the iraf/iraf/unix will be in the
/scisoft/share/...iraf/iraf/unix. (if I will be able to finish instalation succesfully!)There is no /scisoft and sub directories, because I could not install the scisoft-iraf. But, I need libf2c in order to install scisoft-iraf. I confused very much. How can I copy a file in the absence of that file?regards.

One way would be to bootstrap by getting the as.pcix.gen distribution file form the Downloads area of this site. Otherwise a note to the Scisoft folks about the problem.I do remember having a question (in my own mind) about whether the self-contained f2c was actually working when f2c wasn't also installed on the system, I'll look into it again.Cheers,
-Mike
