Now, I am using Linux 64bit and trying to use IRAF package as a beginner. Here are those installation method which could work properly.
Thanks information from the website and Ohio-state.edu.
**Notethat: run bash shell before using IRAF .....after you have created LOGIN.CL script
the command to start is.....cl or ecl ....in terminal...it should work properly.

= IRAF Setup on Ubuntu/Debian Linux =
This page describes how to setup IRAF on a 64-bit Ubuntu/Debian machine.
Installation of X11IRAF, DS9 and key packages are also included.
It will be easiest if you just copy-paste the instructions one by one except
for the parts in [[ ]].
For 32-bit installation, see -

An excellent and easy alternative installation option is provided by the Ureka project -

sudo mkdir /iraf
sudo mkdir /iraf/iraf
sudo mv iraf.lnux.x86_64.tar.gz /iraf/iraf/.
cd /iraf/iraf
sudo tar -zxf iraf.lnux.x86_64.tar.gz
sudo rm iraf.lnux.x86_64.tar.gz

sudo mv ds9 /usr/local/bin/.
cd
wget http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~khan/iraf/iraf
sudo chmod u=rwx iraf
mkdir IRAF
cd IRAF
mkiraf
[[Select "xgterm" as your IRAF shell when prompted]]
exit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The command ./iraf from home directory will now launch a complete IRAF session containing DS9,
xgterm and ecl, based in the IRAF direcory. Alternately, start "xgterm' (typing xgterm),
cd into the directory where you did "mkiraf", type "ecl" for enhanced IRAF or
"cl" for VO IRAF, and "ds9" for standalone DS9 launch.
The following steps show how to add external packages. If you don't need extra packages,
then you are done already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd /iraf/iraf/extern
sudo ./configure
[[The next two lines will take some time to complete, even with fast internet. Be patient.]]
sudo make adccdrom ctio cfh12k esowfi mscdb mscred stsdas nfextern optic
sudo make deitab euv mem0 mtools rvsao song sqiid stecf ucsclris upsqiid xdimsum
exit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next time you start IRAF, the available packages will be listed.
