I have an i7 macbook and
When i try to run the install script i get this error message:
macintel x86_64 version

Checking Core system binary directory ... [ FAIL ]

*** The core system binary directory, /iraf/bin.macosx, does
*** not appear to contain the proper binaries. The IB distribution
*** files should be unpacked in this directory.

Checking NOAO package binary directory ... [ FAIL ]

*** The NOAO package binary directory, /iraf/noao/bin.macosx, does
*** not appear to contain the proper files. The NB distribution
*** files should be unpacked in this directory.

i move the binaries from bin.macintel to bin.macosx
the install script runs and everything, cl works, packages works
but the fc command for compiling doesn`t.
it says that i have the wrong architecture.
can anyone help?
much obliged,

Victor

Starting with v2.15, the 'macintel' architecture is for 64-bit Intel systems, 32-bit Intel (and PPC) systems use the 'macosx' architecture. If the output of a "uname -m" command on your machine is something other than 'x64_64' iraf assumes the proper architecture is 'macosx'. Even though you have a 64-bit capable i7, snow leopard is running in 32-bit mode.

To fix this, you either need to boot your system in 64-bit mode or else install the 'macosx' architecture.
