Hi Justin, You ask me about the problem with DS9. When the ds9 is started (for instance from an xterm) it opens normally. Then if a "display" command is executed in Iraf, an error message starts to show up in the xterm and goes on until a ^C is done. The message was something like
"Error: IIS iisIO problems" There is a thread of something like this in iraf.net http://iraf.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85566&highlight=0b8 In my case I installed iraf from the linux binaries v2.12.2 (including noao binaries too) provided in the Iraf page since the old iraf packages for Debian would likely give problems with these libraries, I guess. Iraf works well in general, but I found this problem with the display. I can tell you about other two problems just in case you plan to resurrect the iraf debian package :-) - First is about "ecl", the new cl package, It does not work because it looks for the old "termcap" library file. In a former version of debian there was a "termcap-compat" package but it is not available anymore. - Second is a problem with the x11iraf package. In general it works fine with the binaries installation (always using the linux binaries, not Red Hat or anything similar), but "ximtool" doesn't even open. When I try to build from source then at some point it gives me a message that I don't know how to solve. It was something about a variable that is no longer used in the modern version of the libraries. And then the problem with ds9, but as I said it works fine with the 4.0b10 version.
