Add in pkg/lib/mkpkg.inc to every *FLAGS line the following: -m32, so it should look like:
$set XFLAGS = "$(XFLAGS) -p ifocas -m32"
$set XVFLAGS = "$(XVFLAGS) -p ifocas -m32"
$set LFLAGS = "$(LFLAGS) -p ifocas -m32"
(Ifocas is the used package in this example, but you catch my drift.)
Then in both pkg/src/mkpkg and pkg/mkpkg you add -m32 to each line starting with $link, i.e.:
$link x_focas.o libpkg.a -lc -o xx_focas.e -m32
(so, that's two files to be changed!!)
Finally, if it does not exist, create pkg/bin.redhat
Fix up the $hlib/external.pkg as usual...
Then as iraf user go into cl and type:
cd pkg$
mkpkg -p pkg
And it should compile.
If you have a normal makefile, i.e. you need to type something like make or make ALL, just add -m32 to all *FLAGS and it should compile.
Hope this helps all desperate people out there with 64bit machines. Make sure, of course, that you have always the 32bit libraries installed of everything ;)
In the AAOmega run of March 2006, we took some standard stars. They were reduced with drcontrol by changing the type from MFFLX to MFOBJECT. In a discussion with Rob Sharp (AAO) he mentioned that it was a good idea to test the Gaussianity of the standard stars throughout the frames. The reason is that the software uses a constant value for the FWHM of the Gaussian throughout the spectral image. This could have major impact on the relative flux calibration. (Absolute flux calibration with a fibre instrument is quite near to impossible.) The results are in the two figures.

The blue camera is quite constant at a FWHM = 3.05 pix and doesn't vary more than 1% between observations. The red arm, on the other hand, varies a lot more! It varies between a FWHM of 3.5 pix (towards the blue end) down to 3.1 pix and ~2% between observations. The measurements were done with some scripts I wrote in IDL. The FWHM and central pixel of the Gaussian are derived from the sum of 51 columns around the indicated points.
Consider the following code in IDL:
IDL> a = dblarr(4,4)
IDL> b=[4]
IDL> a[1,4]++
% Attempt to subscript A with <INT ( 4)> is out of range.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL> a[1,b]++
IDL> print, a

0.0000000 2.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
This is quite annoying. I thought it was a bug (or feature) from IDL, but it seems that I didn't read the manual good enough. With the option
compile_opt STRICTARRSUBS this behaviour is not allowed anymore...Mari Minari from Support at Ittvis (formerly RSI) helped me out on this. Thanks!!
As part of my thesis I am looking for line emitting objects. During follow up observations of low redshift (z ~ 0.24 - 1.2) emission line galaxies at the AAT with AAOmega, we also included the confirmed Lyman alpha emitter J114334.98-014433.7 (aka S11_5236 aka S11_13368; Westra et al. 2005). Below is the spectrum of this object. The exposure time is ~4 hours. The line can be clearly seen.
The spectrum was first presented at the ASA 2006.
Just found out how to do a LEFT JOIN on combined tables with UNION. It's a bit tricky, but the point is that the result of a UNION is another table... See below:
SELECT `ID`, "whatever columns" FROM (
SELECT "whatever" FROM t1
UNION DISTINCT
SELECT "whatever" FROM t2
) AS newName1
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT `ID` FROM t3
UNION DISTINCT
SELECT `ID` FROM t4
) AS newName2
ON `newName1`.`ID` = `newName2`.`ID` WHERE `newName2`.`ID` IS NOT NULLNext
