Download notes
Note that in CPL, from version 4.0 on, the FITS data on disk is accessed via the CFITSIO library. The specific release 2.510 of CFITSIO is used (for compatibility with the VLT software), and CPL is tested, verified and supported for this CFITSIO version, only.The qfits library is not used anymore by CPL.
EsoRex, in turn, requires the CPL.
The MD5 file, provided with each source-code distribution, is for use with the MD5 fingerprint system. It allows the integrity of the file to be checked. For example, with both the main file and the MD5 signature file in the same directory, execute the command "md5sum -c <md5file>".
Various "old versions" are also available for download. These may be obtained directly from the CPL FTP site.
System requirements

- Solaris 8, and,
- Linux (glibc 2.1 or later),
