AS, IB, NB files not found
Khary Richardson wrote on Jun 23, 2011
I just tried to install on Ubuntu and got errors that AS, IB, and NB were not found. I checked the directories where they should be, but I am not sure what I am looking for.
As an example It says that IB should be in '/bin.linux'. There is a file named IB.RHUX.X86, but it is empty. Where can I download the files if they are indeed missing?
Here are the contents of '/iraf/irafbin/bin.linux'
here is the attempt at install
Thanks inadvance

Are these the correct files?
as.pcix.gen.gz
ib.lnux.x86.gz
nb.lnux.x86.gz
as.pcix.gen.gz
ib.lnux.x86.gz
nb.lnux.x86.gz

I downloaded and unpacked the above files, but I am still getting the fails from my first message. I also rechecked the subdirectories listed are in the iraf root directory, but I still get fail as well.

Does anyone have any ideas?

The three file you list are correct for a v2.14 system, but note that the recommended release is not v2.15.1a which comes in a single tarfile (see the main story on the front page of this site). This would avoid all of the directory structure problems you're having.
Specifically, the file you need for 32-bit Ubuntu is
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v215/PCIX/iraf.lnux.x86.tar.gz
Just unpack in the /home/iraf directory and run the install script. See the README for adding external packages with a simple 'make' command.
If there's some reason you must have v2.14, then you'll need to create a /home/iraf/iraf directory for the as.pcix.gen.gz file (this is then your "iraf root"), and a /home/iraf/irafbin directory for the binaries (containing a 'bin.linux' for the ib.lnux.x86.gz and an 'noao.bin.linux' for the nb.lnux.x86.gz file). If you still have questions, post again but I'd suggest the v215 version mentioned above.

Thank you so much for all the help.
Should I delete the old files and sub-directories before I run the install script?

Yeah, if you're going with the v2.15 single-file install then it would be best to remove what is already in /home/iraf

Thank you again. I will post up how it works out.

do I still run install from '/iraf/unix/hlib'
Mike Fitzpatrick wrote on Jun 23, 2011
Yes (but be sure the iraf root path is correct, i.e. /home/iraf/unix/hlib according to your previous posts).

Installation Completed With No Errors :D :D
thank you again for all the help! I should have done the single file download and installation in the first place instead of the site I linked in my other post.
