Just a heads up about packaging starlink for linux distributions. I've gotten starlink to compile and link using native libraries on Mageia, and I've uploaded my changes to https://github.com/joequant/starlink. I haven't actually try to run any of the new executables, but one step at a time.
The big bottleneck that I have right now is PGPLOT. The trouble is that PGPLOT seems to have a non-distro friendly non-commercial license that would prevent it from being added to linux distros. Fortunately, there is a drop in replacement for PGPLOT called pg2plplot which links against PLplot which unlike PGPLOT is actively being developed. Unfortunately there are a lot of additional calls that haven't been implemented yet,
