psckeckperl -build tries to build Astro-FITS-CFITSIO against default include/lib directory without checking whether cfitsio actually lives there

[jester@…]

psckeckperl -build tries to build Astro-FITS-CFITSIO against non-existent include directory - it uses /usr/local/cfitsio as default location for cfitsio headers and library files without checking whether that directory exists or whether cfitsio is anywhere near /usr/local (/usr/local/lib seemed to work!)

The installation of Astro-FITS-CFITSIO worked after setting the CFITSIO environment variable to the IPP install dir, where cfitsio does exist.

Below the output from the failed run:

tar xvzf Astro-FITS-CFITSIO-1.05.tar.gz

This no longer appears to be an issue. extlibs and extperl are included in the distribution. Running pschecklibs -build followed by pscheckperl -build (order important) creates the required files without the need to set the CFITSIO environment variable.
