cfitsio

CFITSIO is a library of C and Fortran subroutines for reading and writing data files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format. CFITSIO provides simple high-level routines for reading and writing FITS files that insulate the programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS format.

Usage

To make this library available, run one of the following module commands

module load libs/cfitsio/3.38/gcc-8.2
module load libs/cfitsio/3.49/gcc-8.2

The modulefile creates a variable $CFITSIO_INCLUDE_PATH which is the path to the include directory.

Installation notes

This section is primarily for administrators of the system. CFITSIO 3.49,3.38 was compiled with GCC 8.2. The compilation used this script and it is loaded with this modulefile.

The module was tested with the process described here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/fitsio/c/c_user/node13.html.
