[daip] md5sum, AFS

[Miguel de Val Borro]

Hi,

I've connected to urania.aoc.nrao.ed via FTP and downloaded the files pub/software/aips/31DEC02/31DEC02.tar.gz, 31DEC02.tar.gz.md5sum and install.pl using binary transfer.
The output from 'md5sum 31DEC02.tar.gz.md5sum' (c3b0dbe4b023b9a211cb3beee5eccabb  31DEC02.tar.gz.md5sum) is different from the contents of the file 31DEC02.tar.gz.md5sum (c6a3eecf851244962dcf0a4cc997d580  31DEC02.tar.gz). I tried and repeated the download a few times today November 24 with the same result all the time. Could you please give me a hint? Is this step necessary to perform the installation?

Another question is that we are doing the AIPS installation in an AFS file system; do you know of any possible difficulty in this case because of the installation scripts may be using NFS syntax?

Thank you very much,
Miguel
