Q: iraf installation on linux

Guest wrote on Dec 26, 2006

Hi,

I'm installing IRAF on linux (RedHat Enterprise 4.0). I basically
followed through the instruction in the document "linuxiraf.ps",
but "cl" wouldn't run. Here's what I did:

1. when I ran ./install -n, it returned a bunch of error messages
related to missing symbolic links (cl, generic, mkiraf,...etc)
and I made them manually as the warning messages point where
they should be. Here's my first question. Assuming that I did
everything correctly, was I supposed to end up having those
links in the end?

2. checking with ./install -n once more (no more such warning),
I finally ran the install script without -n, and I didn't get
any error in the end of the installation. However, once I re-
login as a user "iraf" and run cl, it complains as follows:

"/pkg/iraf/iraf/bin.linux/cl.e: /pkg/iraf/iraf/bin.linux/cl.e:
cannot execute binary file"

where /pkg/ira/iraf/ is where I am installing iraf ($iraf).

Could you please help me out with this?

Thank you,

Aeree Chung
