Subject: [bananas] LNX64 binary release
Message-ID: <20d519a1-7faf-c2f9-4b64-0fd9a23c45b9@nrao.edu>

I attempted to use a very recent Intel compiler on the LNX64 version of 
AIPS.  It was what you would get over a very short period of time as the 
binary installation.  Unfortunately, it turned out that this version 
simply did not work on at least one of the known problem computers (a 
RedHat 7).  Therefore, I recompiled everything with version 6.4 of gcc 
and gfortran.  That version has been tested on the problem machine and 
everything seems to work.  Therefore, we will continue to use 
gcc/gfortran for the Linux 64-bit binary version.

Many thanks to Huib Intema in Leiden for all his help with this issue.
