Can you tell me the following:

1. The date on the install.pl and the tar ball you are using
2. The type of computer that you are using

I changed the file READLINE.SHR that we send out and install.pl
recently to make the unpacking work in the usual manner - not the
cumbersome way we used to use.  It is likely that I have made an error
and need to correct this somehow.  I tried testing things but our
LInux boxes all have readline provided in the operating system and so
AIPS points at that rather than using the antique readline we ship.
