installation issue on Ubuntu

edmeades wrote on Sep 17, 2007

I'm having an issue installing a fresh copy of IRAF on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.

When I run the install script, it fails on the "Checking file permissions" section.

I get the error: "foreach: no match".

I have run the installer with superuser permissions.

If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

The V2.13 release doesn't include binaries for the iraf kernel routines by default. Try copying the contents of $iraf/unix/bin.redhat to $iraf/unix/bin.linux to fix this and then re-run the install script.

Cheers,
