done

cd $iraf/iraf/unix/hlib
csh -fc "
source ./irafuser.csh
./install -r $iraf/iraf -i /tmp -b $iraf/bin
"

Sorry for the late reply, your posting scrolled off the front page
and I forgot that I meant to answer.

export iraf=/local/iraf

For the purposes of this script, this is fine. But keep in mind
that the '$iraf' that IRAF needs will be /local/iraf/iraf/

cd $iraf/iraf
mkdir $iraf/irafbin/bin.openbsd
ln -s $iraf/irafbin/bin.openbsd .
cd $iraf/irafbin/bin.openbsd
tar -xzf $dist/ib.rhux.x86.gz
        :
        :

I presume that since you're using the redhat binaries you've got some
sort of binary compatability available? You won't be able to use the system
for compilation, however if you were going to be rebuilding the system
to create an 'openbsd' architecture there are a number of other places
where this would need to be added. Editing the cl.csh/irafuser.csh/install
script should be good enough to start up though.

Otherwise your script looks perfectly reasonable. You say it doesn't
work, but you don't say what the error is. Does the script not run, or is it
just that you can't start IRAF afterward?
