Applying The 6.30.1 Patch To Your Existing 6.30 Installation
See the HEASOFT 6.30.1 Release Notes
for more information about this patch. Please note that the 6.30.1
patch includes the updates in the previous patches 6.30 a & b,
so there is no need to apply them separately.
-
For users of the source code installation:
A patch installer mechanism is available to aid you in updating your existing
6.30 source code installation. To use it, simply
download the patch installer script
, save it in the directory containing your existing heasoft-6.30 source
code folder, initialize HEASOFT, and then run it:
$ sh hdpatch_6.30.1
This script will retrieve the necessary patch file (requires wget),
then rebuild and re-install all relevant components. Note that any
components not included in your original download will be ignored.
It may take a while to finish, so please be patient while it runs.
-
For users of a pre-compiled binary installation:
Choose the appropriate tar file from the list below and unpack
it in the directory containing your existing heasoft-6.30 binary
folder. Mac users will need to perform an extra step, i.e.
running (in the same directory)
this script
to fix rpaths in the new binary files.
