FOCAS installation on RedHat 9.0 - cbind.c problem?

Will Clarkson wrote on Nov 11, 2005

Hi - I am having difficulty building FOCAS (i.e. iraffocas) under RedHat Linux 9.0. The log of 'make ALL' is given beneath. I had to give the full path to the libraries for xc to find them in the first place. I think the problem is with the cbind.c that comes with the FOCAS tarball, as simply trying 'gcc cbind.c' from the command line gives all the same errors beyond the "c_macck" line beneath.

I tried the /usr/lib/libf2c.so.0.10 workaround you suggest in a reply to a different posting, but that has not made a difference. Is there a workaround I can use here? (perhaps the cbind.c is out of date on the FTP archive?)

Alternatively, one of the replies to installation mentions a pre-compiled set of linux binaries. I'm willing to try them, but couldn't find them in the /iraf/extern/ FTP directory. Have they moved to a different location?

thanks!

P.S. here is the log of the make process.

Will,
From the '-Bstatic' flag it appears the Makefile hasn't been modified for
the proper linux flags. I was able to compile on a RH9 with no problem
after editing the makefile to uncomment the first CC/TERM flags for Linux.
The cbind.c defines the procedures correctly but it you're using a GCC 4
compiler it might not have worked properly (can't test it directly just now).
In any case, I've put the binaries I compiled at ftp://iraf.noao.edu/pub/fitz/focas-bin.redhat.tgz in case it helps.

Cheers,
-Mike

thanks for this - I have tried uncommenting the Linux flags, which has had no effect (log again beneath): for info I'm on gcc version 3.2.2. However I did find the precompiled binaries, thanks very much for that. Most of those do appear to function without crashing out, I will test them in more depth over the next few days as I apply FOCAS to the science problem.

thanks!

Will

Here is the output of the most recent compilation run with the Linux flags uncommented in the makefile
