cfitsio on christo

[Boud Roukema]

Hi Krzyszek,
   i'm having problems using the cfitsio library on christo.

Would you be able to install it on christo etc please? This is so that the
Shape of The Universe monograph class:
http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/MonographCosmo
can work on some cosmology software.

i tried the version installed (as user) by Andrzej Marecki, but
i had problems with compiling the header files

(1) printerror.c is a program unit which compiles OK on adjani
gcc -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__ -Wall -c -o printerror.o printerror.c
printerror.c:14: fitsio.h: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

i tried
gcc -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__ -Wall -c -o printerror.o
printerror.c -I/home2/boud/include
where i have a copy of
/home2/amr/cwicz/fitsio/cfitsio.h

renamed to

fitsio.h

since /home2/amr/cwicz/fitsio/fitsio.h is a header file for iraf, not
for C.

This gives
In file included from /home2/boud/include/fitsio.h:227,
                 from printerror.c:14:
/home2/boud/include/cfortran.h:115: parse error before `?'
printerror.c:28: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `exit'
printerror.c:28: warning: parameter names (without types) in function

/usr/include/stdlib.h:520: previous declaration of `exit'
printerror.c:28: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
printerror.c:29: parse error before `}'

(2) i tried compiling the package myself
Version 2.470 - 18 August 2003
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/fitsio/fitsio.html

but had problems with included header files like  <linux/limits.h>
(seems to be a general problem on christo) which are not found
automatically:

     *******************************************************

Even when i add this in manually, i just get more similar problems...

So it might be easier if this is installed by someone who knows the
system.

thanks
