which casacore version are you using?

[twillis449]

https://github.com/casacore/casacore - downloaded casacore-master.zip

The build system is 64 bit ubuntu 14.04

[gijzelaerr]

can you try the latest release, not the master

https://github.com/casacore/casacore/releases

Hi - looks like this must be my bad. :(

I did a recursive search down from /usr on my machine and found some casa files that I was not aware of - including a whole set of libcasa* files under /usr/local/miriad/linux64/casacore

Getting rid of all this stuff plus doing another build of casacore-master now seems to have casarest 1.3.1 building OK. :)

I'll now try the latest meqtrees-timba.

ok, already thought something like that.
