     One would also want to test without saying tv=local

        Normal

    This is first serious error - see below for fix.  $DA00 should be
$AIPS_ROOT/DA00/LOCALHOST/ and that does not have an SP or any other
file.

        This looks good.

   More of the $DA00 trouble.

         No problem

     I do not understand this LOCALHOST_1 directory.  I will bet that
the NARGUEST17 directory is filled with BA, PW, AC, etc files.  In
which case in DA00

ln -s NARGUEST17 LOCALHOST

What is in the LOCALHOST_1 below the DA00?

      Overkill - you could reduce this to one copy rater than 3 but it
does not hurt.

I guessed this part - but you probably did the install first as
narguest17 and then tried to switch.  I have fixed up install.pl
rather recently to make the LAPTOP=YES easier and reliable but that
was quite recent (Sep 5 or so)

Summary - I think you are missing the DA00 which you can get by a link
file and then things should work.
