Problems in installing 2.15 in PPC Mac

B-G Andersson wrote on Mar 27, 2011

I just tried installing v2.15.1a on my Mac G5 PPC machine and I run into two problems (I skipped from 2.12 - I think). Following the install instructions, I downloaded and expanded iraf.macx.uni.gz and installed the binaries in the iraf path. But:

If I try to run funpack (in fitsutil), I get an error message saying:

fitsutil> funpack 1016900p.fits.fz
/bin/bash: /iraf/iraf/extern/fitsutil/bin.macosx/funpack: Bad CPU type in executable

I used the dynamic loading process for mscred, fitsutil and stsdas and it seemed to work fine

Any suggestions?

Thanks, B-G

This was a problem in building the macosx distribution in that not all the files were built as universal OSX binaries. This has been fixed now, do a "make fitsutil" in the iraf$extern directory to force a reinstall and let me know if you still have problems.
