[daip] Problem installing AIPS 31DEC03 on MacOS X 10.2.4 system

[Juan Cabanela]

Hello there,
   I was attempting to install AIPS on my PowerBook G4 with the install.pl
wizard and things were going swimmingly until I got the error message below.
Funny thing is that as far as I can tell my data area has been defined (more
on that below).

========================================================================

AipsWiz:  =====> Generate system files via FILAIP/POPSGN...
AipsWiz: This will generate some output, including a copyright (left)
AipsWiz: statement and some prompts, but should end with a 'Done!' if
AipsWiz: everything worked...

Data disk assignments:
  (Using global default file /usr/local/AIPS/DA00/DADEVS.LIST)
 
*********************************************************
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.
========================================================================

Now, a quick check of /usr/local/AIPS/DA00/DADEVS.LIST shows the following
data area is defined:

-  /usr/local/AIPS/DATA/BARYON

And my ~/.AIPSRC file says (among other things):

= ~/.AIPSRC content subset =============================================
SITE = BARYON
THISHOST = IP165-82-176-96
HOSTS = "IP165-82-176-96 BARYON"
DATA_AREAS = "/usr/local/AIPS/DATA/BARYON:NONE"
========================================================================

Now, the only thing I can think of is that the /usr/local/AIPS/AIPSASSN.SH
script seems to want my data area to be named after $HOST but maybe that
isn't "BARYON" (as evidenced by THISHOST in the ~/.AIPSRC file above.

= /usr/local/AIPS/AIPSASSN.SH content subset ===========================
#                                       System and data areas
#                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NET0=$AIPS_ROOT/DA00; export NET0
#                                       Data root area, normally /DATA
DATA_ROOT=/DEFINE_ME; export DATA_ROOT
DA00=$AIPS_ROOT/DA00/$HOST; export DA00
========================================================================

Any suggestions?

Juan
