[daip] aips installation problem follow-up question on xas

[Min S. Yun]

Hi Pat,

Silly me, I forgot to mention that I have Debian linux...  I checked
my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ directory, and I see:

$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
Cards          XKeysymDB     doc    lbxproxy   x11perfcomp  xserver
Cards-v3       Xcms.txt      etc    locale     xdm          xsm
Options        XftConfig     fonts  proxymngr  xedit
XErrorDB       app-defaults  fs     rgb.txt    xinit
XF86Config.98  asclassic     gv     rstart     xkb
XF86Config.eg  config        icons  twm        xman.help

I don't quite see any *.h files.  Do I need to get these files from
somewhere?
