The keoe release of the Starlink Software Collection is currently available for two operating systems:
Parties interested in a Solaris release can email stardev@jach.hawaii.edu.
The tar file will unzip into a star/ directory in the same directory you downloaded the tar file to. To install this, either copy it into a /star directory or create a /star softlink to this directory.
On some systems you may need the libg2c.so library. On Fedora Core (and presumably all Red Hat-derivative systems) this can be found in the compat-gcc-32 RPM. On Ubuntu (and presumably all Debian-derivative systems) this can be found in the libg2c0 package.
The 64-bit release requires glibc 2.4 and fairly recent versions of the X11 libraries. An up-to-date Gentoo, Fedora Core 5, or SUSE 10.1 are distributions that are known to work.
The tar file will unzip into a local-star/ directory in the same directory you downloaded the tar file to. To install this, either copy it into a /local-star directory or create a /local-star softlink to this directory.
Even though this build was built on a PPC Mac, it should still run on Intel Macs under Rosetta compatibility mode.
This release was built on OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and may not work on 10.3 (Panther).
If you have not installed the OS X SDK, you will need to install it to obtain the ncurses library. It is located on the Tiger installation DVD, or Disc 1 of your hardware's installation CDs (open the "Xcode Tools" folder, then double-click the "XcodeTools.mpkg" package). This will also install X11, which is needed for the various graphical Starlink programs like GAIA or KAPPA/DISPLAY.
2006-09-12 UPDATE - please download this fix for the NDF Perl module. Untar it, then copy the two files into the /local-star/Perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/NDF/ directory. This fixes the following error:
Can't load '/local-star/Perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/NDF/NDF.bundle' for module NDF: dlopen(/local-star/Perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/NDF/NDF.bundle, 1): Symbol not found: __g95_ioparm Referenced from: /local-star/lib/libndf.0.dylib
To set up your environment for use with the Starlink Software Collection, you must "source" some initialization files. On csh and related shells (like tcsh), source /star/etc/login and /star/etc/cshrc. On sh and related shells (like bash), source /star/etc/profile.
Because of the large size of WFCAM calibration files, they have been split off from the main download tarballs, as not everybody will be reducing WFCAM data using ORAC-DR. These calibrations can be downloaded here (372MB .tar.gz). The tar file will unzip into a swfcam/ directory in the same directory you downloaded the tar file to. To install these calibration files, copy the directory into the /star/bin/oracdr/cal/ directory (or /local-star/bin/oracdr/cal/ for OS X) thus creating the /star/bin/oracdr/cal/swfcam/ directory containing the calibration files.
