 This is, however, not a concern for the case of early testing.
+//Update 20.iii.2009://
+We are definitively trying to get RTS2 working on Solaris ''ultra2.caha.es''. I managed to compile astrometry after some minor struggle with it. So here we go:
+  * The astrometric registration script is ''/disk-a/obs12/jelinek/ast123''. It contains no dark/flat correction as we still need to make clear how (and if) we are going to play with those things.
+  * ''rtopera2'', the BOOTES astrometric package is in ''/disk-a/obs12/jelinek/rtopera2'', no binary installation has been performed (programs must be called from within there.
+  * ''libnova'' is there, in ''/disk-a/obs12/kubanek/libnova-0.12.3/'', it does not support Lunar computations yet, for there were some problems compiling the source.
+The compilation problems against linux machines were the following:
+  * ''asprintf()'' does not exist: generally replaced with ''malloc(1024);sprintf(...''
+  * ''sinl()''. ''cosl()'' and similar are not present on Solaris - macros made
+  * ''round()'' call does not exist - enabled a windows macro.
+  * ''getopt_long()'' i did not find, header file ''#include <getopt.h>'' does not exist. ''getopt()'' may be used instead, losing the long options, however.
+  * to get support for socket & hostname lookup in programs, one must link against ''-lsocket -lnsl''

 The operation of RTS2 may, at present, appear chaotic to the responsible CAHA staff, especially in case of GRB alerts. We believe that care should be taken to inform people around about the actions the telescope is performing in a simple and accessible way.
-==== EPIX database ====
+==== EPICS database ====
 CAHA maintains a database of all available information (meteo/ccd info/telescope info/etc.) Practically anything can be taken there. Most importantly the imaging CCD properties and conditions, which cannot be taken with any //info// command on the command line.
+=== Update:  ===
+This is still a piece of magic for us. However, seemingly this may be the key to get a real grip to the telescope with RTS2. The calls provided to us for managing the CCD camera are in fact actually EPICS wrappers.
