The install.pl remembers that you are a Linux system from the above
messages but the next suggests that, if LOGIN.SH is accessed, then
your host name is no loger recognized and so its architecture is not
known.  Did you select "laptop yes" at some point or go edit the
LOGIN.SH file to select it?  Did the response to uname -n change
(laptops change ID each time they are plugged in at least sometimes).

The contents of $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH, HOSTS.LIST and the answer to
uname -n should help to debug this.  Also one must look at ~/.AIPSRC
to see what it now says.  That has a host name in it too and restarts
use the info recorder in the file.

Calling the C compiler c is the usual response to $ARCH being
unknown.

Unless you have a very very old system or installed 2.95.3 yourself,
it is highly unlikely that you have that version.  Enter

/usr/bin/g77 --version

/usr/bin/gcc -v

to see what is there.
