iraf and Fedora 12

Jim Scotti wrote on Feb 02, 2010

Thanks to some computer issues, I have installed Fedora 12 on my system (32 i686 bit version) and am having trouble getting iraf running. I downloaded the redhat files and went through the install without trouble, but when I try and run cl, I get the following:

$ cl
/iraf/iraf/bin.redhat/ecl.e: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I presume it's something simple....

Thanks!

Jim.

You can get a statically linked binary from http://iraf.net/ftp/pub/fitz/ecl.e

Just make this executable and replace your $iraf/bin.redhat/ecl.e binary and it should be good. The binary is supposed to be linked statically anyway but this was missed in the last distribution.

Thanks Mike, but I get permission denied when I try to access the link you included.

Not sure what happened, but the links should be readable now. In fact, all downloads were somehow disabled.....
