[daip] AIPS installation

[Miguel de Val Borro]

Ok, thank you, there was a mistake in the HOST definition and the 
install.pl script didn't recognize the machine. Now it works fine.

I'm trying to join the ~/.AIPSRC file into the install.pl so it
can run unattended, it was suggested by my system manager so that
we can automate the AIPS installation in a few systems. 

Thanks again for your help.
Miguel
