Dear Madam/Sir,

I've tried to install aips, but I got the following errors, conserning 
"data disks not being defined". However I have assigned data disks:
/xmm3/irini/AIPS/DATA/ERI_1 and /xmm3/irini/AIPS/DATA/, but the 
~/.AIPSRC file contains:
DATA_AREAS = "/xmm3/irini/AIPS/DATA/ERI_1:NONE /xmm3/irini/AIPS/DATA/:NONE"
 additionally it appears that I do not have a DADEVS.SH file. The 
DA00/DADEVS.LIST appears correct: It contains the :
-  /xmm3/irini/AIPS/DATA/
-  /xmm3/irini/AIPS/DATA/ERI_1

Following are the last lines with warming/error messages that I got when 
I run: perl ./install.pl

I do not under stand what may have gone wrong, and I would appreciate 
your help very much. Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
Irini S.

============================================================
Data disk assignments:
DADEVS.PL: This program is untested under Perl version 5.006
  (Using global default file /xmm3/irini/AIPS/DA00/DADEVS.LIST for DADEVS.PL)
DADEVS.PL error - no disks selected at all
This is a FATAL error and nothing in AIPS will work.

*********************************************************
HELP!  No Defined data areas!  You can proceed now to run
program FILAIP, but you may see LOTS of complaints about
not being able to access the message file.  If you think
there should have been some data areas defined, please
check DADEVS.LIST or .dadevs files, or AIPSASSN.\*
*********************************************************
If you want to proceed, enter YES (uppercase) now:
AipsWiz: Error: FILAIP did not work, or there's a missing file!
AipsWiz: Error: This may mean that FILAIP did not work (it should have
AipsWiz: Error: created it and many other files in that area).
AipsWiz: Error: You can try running it by hand after (a) dotting the
AipsWiz: Error: LOGIN.SH file or sourcing the LOGIN.CSH file; and
AipsWiz: Error: (b) Typing 'RUN FILAIP'.  You will then be asked for
AipsWiz: Error: several parameters.  Use

35 -100
8 2
8

AipsWiz: Error: as the standard values.
AipsWiz: Error: You will also have to RUN POPSGN if that works;

AipsWiz: Error: Feed it

0 POPSDAT TST


AipsWiz: Error: when it asks for Idebug, etc. and press RETURN when
AipsWiz: Error: you see the '>' prompt.



AipsWiz: Install Wizard stopping.  Current settings saved in ~/.AIPSRC
AipsWiz: Abandoning ship!  Goodbye.
