cfitsio library [message #90646]

Hi,
i want to install the cfitsio library to read compressed fits files in IDL 8.4 running on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit version. Two programs need this library: READ_SDO as well as READFITS (only for *.fits.fz files for the latter program). I have followed the instructions as given at this link:
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/fpack/

The fun part is that while READ_SDO runs as expected, I get an error saying
<funpack: command not found>.

(Does it have something do with the shell in which the command is running? Because, while READ_SDO runs in tcsh, the READFITS error command is preceded by the name of the shell, which is either 'sh' or 'bash')

thanking in advance,
Anand.
