Installation error on Ubuntu 24.04

Hello,

Although libftools library is inside /lib folder, I got the following error after I run /cofigure script.

configure: headas_dir IS /usr/local/software/heasoft-6.35.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-libc2.39
configure: ftoolslib IS libftools_6.35.so
checking for library containing gttime... no
configure: error: libftools not found (should be part of headas

I set all the variables, what could be the problem?

Hello,

It looks like the problem is coming from HEASOFT. Please, send us the output of the following commands:

$ echo $HEADAS

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ ls $HEADAS/lib/libftools_*.so

$ ldd $HEADAS/bin/caldbinfo |grep ftools

$ ldd $HEADAS/lib/libftools_*.so

$ caldbinfo

Best wishes,
