= Fedora Core  = 

The following system packages are needed:
{{{
yum -y install python-matplotlib-tk atlas boost-python ipython wcslib cfitsio
}}}

== Binary packages ==
For standard fedora core 14 (64bit) as an example
{{{
wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/asap/current/fedora/FC14/x86_64/asap-4.0.0-py2.7.egg
}}}

Become root user
{{{
easy_install asap-4.0.0-py2.7.egg
}}}

Then run as normal user
{{{
asap
}}}
and exit

The as root
{{{
asap_update_data
}}}

=== Notes ===

If you something like following error:
{{{
Loading ASAP...
------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/asap/__init__.py", line 314, in ?
    from asap._asap import Log as _asaplog
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/asap/_asap.so: cannot
restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

}}}

Fedora is using SElinux, which makes life hell for the user. Kinda like Windows Vista, protect the system by  not allowing the user to use anything

To recitfy the problem as root or sudo execute
{{{
chcon -t texrel_shlib_t  /usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/asap/_asap.so
}}}

== Alternative: From source ==

You need to install the corresponding "-devel" packages.

As root
{{{
yum -y install gcc-gfortran gcc-c++ flex bison boost-devel python-devel atlas-devel cfitsio-devel python-matplotlib-tk ipython wget make wcslib-devel 
}}}


=== Install rpfits ===

Note for 64bit you need to go to linux64 and also add {{{-fPIC}}} to {{{CFLAGS}}} and {{{FFLAGS}}}.

{{{
wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/rpfits/rpfits.tar.gz
tar zxf rpfits.tar.gz
cd rpfits/linux
# edit GNUMakefile to use gfortran
perl -pi.bak -e 's/^FC.*$//; s/^FFLAGS.*$//; s/# (FC.*)$/\1/;s/# (FFLAGS.*)$/\1/;s/(LDFLAGS\s+:=).*$/\1 -lgfortran/' GNUmakefile
su
make install
exit
cd -
}}}


=== Install casacore ===

{{{
wget http://casacore.googlecode.com/files/casacore-1.3.0.tar.bz2
tar jxf casacore-1.3.0.tar.bz2
cd casacore-1.3.0
scons --cfitsio-incdir=/usr/include/cfitsio
su
scons install
exit
cd -
}}}

=== Install asap ===

{{{
wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/asap/current/asap-4.0.0-src.tar.bz2
tar zxf asap-4.0.0-src.tar.bz2
cd asap-4.0.0
scons lapacklibdir=/usr/lib/atlas cfitsioincdir=/usr/include/cfitsio makedist=egg
cd asap-4.0.0
su # or sudo
python setup.py install
exit # if su was used
}}}

To help out other users please also create a binary package:
{{{
python setup.py bdist_egg
ls dist/*
}}}
There should be a file ending in {{{.egg}}}

Then send this to mailto:malte.marquarding@csiro.au so I can add it to the ftp area.
