It sounds as if the advanced page with details on the C and F77
compilers got a bit messed up.  Take a look in your home area at

      ~/.AIPSRC

which should have some details.

Then

cd $AIPS_ROOT
source LOGIN.CSH   (or . LOGIN.SH)
$CDTST
cd $YSERV/XAS
make

and see what happens - it may repeat the "c" as a C compiler.  It
should be the path to your 2.95.3 gcc.


You did not say what happened after xas failed.  If any of tis is
unclear send me back what you find.
