The Mac (PPC and Intel) versions appear to work properly on both Leopard and Tiger. I’ll try and have installers made for these today. Certainly, I can test the Intel one easily but it’s harder for me to test the PowerPC version so once it’s up if someone out there could test it, that’d be appreciated.

Update The Intel installer is available here – Download IRAF 2.14 for Intel Macs .pkg installer (57MB). My prescribed update method is simple. Change to the IRAF user and do:

  % cd /
  % mv iraf iraf_old

Run the installer and then:

  % mv /iraf_old/extern /iraf/extern/

That should preserve all your external packages. You will most likely want to copy over the extern.pkg from your old install.

  % cd /iraf_old/iraf/unix/hlib
  % cp extern.pkg /iraf/iraf/unix/hlib/extern.pkg

That should work. Let me know if there are any problems – it worked ok for me. I’d keep /iraf_old around for a while just to be safe. And remember any installer errors are probably permission issues but be sure to check the log first before emailing me with any problems.
