What is the problem:
The problem with Galfit, is the code was last distributed on April 23, 2013
in binary form. Only downloading the binary (Redhat/Enterprise 64) cause a
problem with missing libsnl library. This note explains how to get galfit
working at PIC.

The fastest way is downloading the Redhat version and compile libsnl from
source. This is relatively easy, but as indicated above, we have both
downloaded and compiled this dependency. Setting these variables in your
.bashrc makes the system find the binary ($PATH) and the library
($LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Note that you might need to specify these when
submitting jobs through HTCondor.

For documentation and in the case someone wants their own installation or
later needs to reproduce this:

1) Download the Galfit source code:
wget https://users.obs.carnegiescience.edu/peng/work/galfit/galfit3-enterprise64.tar.gz
tar -xf galfit3-enterprise64.tar.gz

2) Compile and install libsnl

Download libsnl:
<pre>
wget https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl/releases/download/v2.0.1/libnsl-2.0.1.tar.xz
tar -xf libnsl-2.0.1.tar.xz
</pre>

Compile libsnl:
<pre>
./configure --prefix /data/agn/scratch2/eriksen/galfit_depend
make
make install
</pre>
