A library error prevents me from running any SAS tasks. What have
I done wrong?
Although it is possible that SAS was not correctly installed
(please check the
SAS installation
pages), the reason may lay in your LHEASOFT version.
LHEASOFT 5.1 and SAS 5.3.0 make use of a shared version of the
CFITSIO library. Unfortunately, the version distributed with
LHEASOFT 5.1 is not compatible with SAS 5.3.0. In this
case, errors like the following may appear when you try and
start any SAS tasks:
unix> sasversion
ld.so.1: sasversion: fatal: relocation error: file /xmm/xmmsas_5.3.0/lib/libslatec.so.1.36: symbol __floatdidf: referenced symbol not found
Killed
To solve this
problem, make sure that you first initialize LHEASOFT and
later SAS. For instance:
source $LHEASOFT/lhea-init.csh
source $SAS_DIR/sas-setup.csh
or
.$LHEASOFT/lhea-init.sh
.$SAS_DIR/sas-setup.sh

Any question about SAS should be addressed to the
XMM-Newton help desk.
