The culprit of this bug was a compiler problem, which I reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/325050 . So I think the only fix, unfortunately, is to recompile your package of PAW with a compiler not having the bug. To recompile the Debian Way (TM), which I guess is the same as the Ubuntu way, I provide some instructions on the Cernlib in Debian FAQ page, http://people.debian.org/~kmccarty/cernlib/faq.html , specifically question 2.2. Before recompiling, you'll want to install an older gcc package, for instance "gcc-3.3", and make sure that /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink to gcc-3.3 (for instance), not gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.0. (Unless your gcc-4.0 is newer than version 4.0.2-4, then you could use that as well.) Alternatively I suspect that this should be fixed in the PAW package currently available from the development version of Ubuntu, Dapper Drake, if you're willing to use that. I hope this helps you. best regards, -- Kevin B.
