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 declaration printerror.c:28: conflicting types for `exit' /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:

Aborting cfitsio configure. cfitsio: You're missing a needed ANSI header file. cfitsio: You need an ANSI C compiler and all ANSI trappings cfitsio: to build cfitsio. *******************************************************

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 boud
