Hello,
	On June 6, I contacted aipsmail regarding a problem installing
Aips under redhat 7.1.  I have not received a response.  We are still
unable to install AIPS and would be grateful for assistance.  The previous
message follows.
	Thank You,

Subject: Problem installing classic AIPS under Linux

Hello,
	We're trying to install AIPS 31Dec2001 on a redhat 7.1 machine.  
We installed an earlier version of gcc (2.95.3), and spent hours 
crunching, only to have the installation fail a the end.  The error 
message is explicit but doesn't suggest a course of action to us.  Can you 
read it (it's below) and provide suggestions on what to do next?
	Thanks,
	Jane Rigby
