LBC-1.1 (LBC Image Simulator v1.1)  
14th May 2002

Installation:

 1 - Put the LBC package in your favourite directory (e.g. /usr/local/AstroSW) and unpack it:

     % mv LBC-1.1.tar.gz /usr/local/AstroSW/
     % cd /usr/local/AstroSW	
     % tar -zxvf LBC-1.1.tar.gz

 2 - Change to your home and edit the shell start-up file (.tcshrc for tcsh or .bashrc for 
     bash). Set as environment variables LBC_BASE (LBC-1.1 directory) and LBC_DB (LBC
     efficiency curves database, e.g. /usr/local/AstroSW/LBC_DB):

      a - (.tcshrc) setenv LBC_BASE /usr/local/AstroSW/LBC-1.1
                    setenv LBC_DB /usr/local/AstroSW/LBC_DB

      b - (.bashrc) LBC_BASE=/usr/local/AstroSW/LBC-1.1
	            LBC_DB=/usr/local/AstroSW/LBC_DB
                    export LBC_BASE LBC_DB

     and add $LBC_BASE/bin to your PATH environment variable.

 3 - Add the bin directory of the WCSTOOLS (e.g. /usr/local/AstroSW/wcstools/bin) package to 
     your PATH. Set as environment variable UA2_PATH (USNO A2 catalog directory, 
     e.g. /usr/local/astroUSNO_A2) and make an alias configuring scat for the USNO A2 catalog:

      a - (.tcshrc) setenv UA2_PATH /usr/local/AstroSW/USNO_A2
                    alias sua2 'scat -c ua2' 

      b - (.bashrc) UA2_PATH=/usr/local/AstroSW/USNO_A2
                    export UA2_PATH      
                    alias sua2='scat -c ua2' 

 4 - Finally, save and execute the shell start-up file:

     % source .tcshrc	(%source .bashrc)

 5 - Move in the LBC-1.1 directory and compile the applications:

     % cd /usr/local/AstroSW/LBC-1.1
     % make all

 6 - Create flat and overscan images used by lbcsim. Move in LBC/util directory and execute 
     the shell script mkconfig.sh:
    
     % cd /usr/local/AstroSW/LBC-1.1/util
     % ./mkconfig.sh

 7 - Edit the lbcimsim default configuration file default.dat in LBC-1.1/config and write the 
     names of the default efficiency curve files in the LBC database. See the Appendix A of the 
     User's Manual for a detailed description of the file formats.  

 8 - To use LBC the package move in a directory (e.g /home/john/TEST) and use the command 
     mklbc to create a IRAF login file that loads all IRAF tasks and packages used by LBC 
     applications.
	
     % cd /home/john/TEST
     % mklbc
