Yes. The underlying problem was that CFITSIO is now a configure dependency
of Skycat, so the configure stage of Skycat failed because CFITSIO wasn't
built already. I've fixed that and talked Olly through the build which he
reported had succeeded. There was also a further problem with g95-GCC
4.0 and GCC 4.3, but that was resolved by the usual softlink of the GCC
library libgcc_c.so to the installed version.
