miriad installation in a ubuntu linux pc
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:53 pm
I am planning to install miriad in a ubuntu linux PC, running ubuntu ver 11.1, 64 bit. I have installed miriad from the latest binary distribution several times, following instructions exactly, but when all is complete the miriad shell will not start. Between each attempt I did "rm -rf /usr/local/miriad" which I expect cleared the previous failed effort.
I have tried with the 32 bit and the 64 bit binaries.
Are there tweaks I can apply at this stage either to ubuntu or the installed binaries? How might I determine what has gone wrong?
Would updating my ubuntu help? Should I give up on the binary distribution and install from source code?
A google search showed bima miriad is often installed with scripts, are there any scripts that might assist with atca miriad? Is ubuntu linux a good choice of linux for a binary or source code installation?
Any advice would be much appreciated
