It already runs on 7.2.  The only caveat is that if you're building from
source, you need the GNU C/Fortran compilers (gcc, g77) version *2.95.3*
installed in some place like /usr/local/bin/.  The "2.96" RedHat version
and most of the 3.x compilers have issues.

If you go to www.gnu.org and get the 2.95 GNU compilers, they want to
install by default in /usr/local/... which is fine.

For more info, see <http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/>.

For 31DEC02, there are no binaries provided as this version changes
frequently (daily sometimes).  FOr 31DEC01 there are binaries in 
ftp://ftp.cv.nrao.edu/aips/31DEC01/LINUX/LOAD/; however I am not 100%
certain if these are the final versions (Eric may know...).

                                  this one)
