[daip] Failure to compile PP

[Sally Laurent]

Hello,

        I am installing AIPS on a RedHat 7.1 linux box (Xeon processor), using
the 2.95.3 compilers.  I am encountering an error when the installation wizard
tried to compile the preprocessor.  The errors are as follows:

As you can see, the gcc/g77 path is fine (referring to a gcc-295 directory).
Any help in figuring out what's wrong would be appreciated.  Let me know what
further information you may need to debug this.
