Dear Aips managers,

    I am installing 31DEC02 aips on our Sunfire 280R server with
Solaris 8 OS. when run, it has the following error
so there is no TV display:

AIPS 1: You are assigned TV device/server   1
AIPS 1: You are assigned graphics device/server   1
AIPS 1: Enter user ID number
?XASERVERS: TVSERV is already running on host fire, user mpc
XASERVERS: Start XAS on fire, DISPLAY fire:0

    i used perl install.pl to install. .AIPSRC file is the following

    Do you know how to solve this? thanks very much in advance.
during the installing, i notice that "SOL" was chosen, not "SUL".

    I am using Sun Forte 6.2 C/f77 compilers.


regards,
Frank
