CFITSIO problems on systems with 64 bit architecture

On a 64-bit architecture such as IRIX64, CFITSIO will have to be compiled in the same binary format as the HEALPix codes. This can be achieved by typing the following on the command line in the CFITSIO directory:

  rm config.cache    
  setenv CC 'cc -n32'
  ./configure
  make

Alternatively you can replace the -n32 with -64. You can then force compilation to the same binary format by entering either -n32 or -64 when asked for the optimisation options in the HEALPix configure script.
