<div dir="ltr">Hi Eric,<div><br></div><div>Your guess in right. Initially I had installed with the option Y at the screen 5a. I have corrected that mistake and later installed by choosing N at the screen 5a and it solved the AIPS Tv problem.

Hi Eric,<br>
<br><span class="">
Thank you for your reply. I have tried the alternative way by adding the suggested commands to the .Xdefaults in my user profile. I have also tried the first method but could not understood what to do with the HOSTS.LIST and the data areas.<br>
<br>
Is there any way or any flag which I can change before starting the installation which corresponds to a server installation of the software and take care of all the things automatically?<br>
</span></blockquote>
<br>
There really isn't a way to do everything automatically. Screen 5 of <a href="http://install.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">install.pl</a> says<br>
<br>
Site type",<br>
"\n****** READ CAREFULLY - HAS CHANGED ******\n\n" .<br>
"If your site consists of a single computer, especially\n " .<br>
"if it may get different names at different times,\n " .<br>
"it is best to force the name for AIPS to LOCALHOST.\n ",<br>
"If you do not want this, enter N or n [Y]");<br>
<br>
I assume you responded with a y or simple carriage return. Had you said N or n, then <a href="http://install.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">install.pl</a> would have used your actual host name and build<br>
the various files with it. But adding a second host does not happen<br>
automatically in any case.<br>
<br>
Here at NRAO we have a great many AIPS computers. They all use the same single AIPS installation located on a file server that services all local Linux computers. Your e-mails do not make it clear that you have a similar setup for your 2 machines. I will send snippets from the various files we have here:<br>
<br>
In $AIPS_ROOT there are the 2 files LOGIN.CSH and LOGIN.SH. They both say LAPTOP="NO" rather than YES.<br>
<br>
Also in $AIPS_ROOT, there is HOSTS.LIST a snippet of which looks like<br>
<br>
+ PECOS LNX64 COAOARN NONE Pentium 400 MHz, John Benson<br>
+ PHECDA LNX64 COAOARN NONE Dual Xeon 1.8GHz, Public Linux<br>
+ PILABO LNX64 COAOARN NONE Dual Quadcore 2.66GHz Xeon, fowen<br>
+ POLIS LNX64 COAOARN NONE Precision Tower 3620, kradford<br>
+ PRIMATE LNX64 COAOARN NONE Pentium 500 MHz, Eric Greisen<br>
+ PYANFAR LNX64 COAOARN NONE Pentium 4 3GHz, Jean Eilek 32-BIT<br>
<br>
Note + in column 1, 2 spaces. host name, host architecture, site name, NONE, and a comment. After the host name it is free format.<br>
<br>
In the $AIPS_ROOT/DA00 area there are directories pointing at each host to contain the control files for that host. You probably have a directory call LOCALHOST which is - at the moment used by both machines.<br>
<br>
They contain files made by FILAIP and look like<br>
<br>
/home/AIPS/DA00/PRIMATE<br>
primate<132>$ ls<br>
ACD000000; BAD001009; BAD002009; MED000005; SPD000000; TPD001007;<br>
BAD001001; BAD002001; BQD000000; MED000006; TCD000001; TPD001008;<br>
BAD001002; BAD002002; GRD000000; MED000007; TDD000004; TPD001009;<br>
BAD001003; BAD002003; ICD000000; MED000008; TPD001001; TPD00100A;<br>
BAD001004; BAD002004; MADFFFFFF; MED000009; TPD001002;<br>
BAD001005; BAD002005; MED000001; MED00000A; TPD001003;<br>
BAD001006; BAD002006; MED000002; MED00000B; TPD001004;<br>
BAD001007; BAD002007; MED000003; PWD000000; TPD001005;<br>
BAD001008; BAD002008; MED000004; SPACE TPD001006;<br>
<br>
If your host name is HOST1 then<br>
<br>
cd $AIPS_ROOT/DA00<br>
<br>
ln -s LOCALHOST HOST1<br>
<br>
will let you use that area for host1. For host 2<br>
<br>
mkdir HOST2<br>
cp HOST1/* HOST2/<br>
<br>
will make up the 2nd machines area<br>
<br>
The file $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/DADEVS.LIST contains the names of the data areas. These names MUST contain the name of the host so that the start up script will know which files to include - a snippet from ours looks like<br>
<br>
- /DATA/PLANETS_1<br>
- /DATA/PLANETS_2<br>
- /DATA/PLANETS_3<br>
- /DATA/POLIS_1<br>
- /DATA/PRIMATE_1<br>
- /DATA/PRIMATE_2<br>
- /DATA/PRIMATE_3<br>
- /DATA/PRIMATE_4<br>
- /DATA/PRIMATE_5<br>
<br>
Note the - in column 1, 2 blanks, then the path to the data area.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
