compiling for SuSE 10.0

I'm trying to compile IRAF for SuSE 10.0, but I'm not getting very far. I'm pretty sure I'm missing the sources for the core and noao binaries.
Should I need more than the as.pcix.gen file to do a from-scratch compile? If so, where do I get the other sources?
Thanks.

Hi Ed,
The as.pcix.gen file contains all the sources for the system, however you shouldn't normally need to compile yourself. The process for doing a 'sysgen' is described in the Unix Site Manager's Guide (see http://iraf.net/irafdocs/unixsmg/) but be aware it isn't a single-step process.
For SuSE 10 you can use the redhat binaries (the RHUX architecture) but simply install them in a 'bin.suse' directory, i.e. put ib.rhux.x86 in /iraf/irafbin/bin.suse and nb.rhux.x86 in /iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.suse. You should also copy the contents of iraf$unix/bin.redhat to iraf$unix/bin.suse for completeness. Note there aren't currently SuSE binaries for v2.13 and the SuSE arch will likely be merged into a more general 'linux'. Hope this helps.
Cheers,

I have the redhat binaries running on our suse system, but I figured I'd try to get real suse binaries just in case.
I haven't been able to get the bootstrap to work. It claims to be doing a NOVOS boot, but tries to find a bunch of sources in the iraf/irafbin/bin.suse directory that don't exist.
Anyway, if you say that there's no functional difference between the redhat binaries and the suse ones I would make, I'll just use the redhat ones.
Thanks!
