[daip] Problems installing 31DEC03

Wed Sep 3 23:55:09 EDT 2003

Dear colleague,

Could you please help me with a problem that I am encountering
in my attempt to install the newest version of AIPS on my
machine? Below I send you a (hopefully complete) account of
what I am using and doing. Any idea what is going on? Probably
I am forgetting something important (as always)... Please don't
hesitate to ask for more information.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Michael

==============================================================

I ftp'ed 31DEC03 and the install wizard install.pl from NRAO on
August 28.

My machine is a stand-alone Inspiron 8500 laptop, Pentium IV
processor, plenty of memory and diskspace. I am running RedHat
9 on it. It has a DVD/CD-RW drive, which I am addressing as
AIPS's tapedrive.

The computer is relatively new and I had not installed an
earlier version of AIPS on it before. But on my older laptop,
an Inspiron 7500, I had no such problem.

Below a copy of the installation log, starting with screen 11.
As you will see, everything looks normal up to the point when
the wizard is trying to execute the command

c xas.c

Question: Am I making a mistake somewhere or is that just what
it appears to be, namely a typo in the installation script?
Shouldn't that be "cc xas.c"? One can see in the log below that
the installer does identify the C compiler on my system corr-
ectly in the first place. If this is indeed the problem, would
it be possible to make an updated version of the script avail-
able?

WARNING!  The structure of /home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03/LINUX/SYSTEM/ATCANAR/FDEFAULT.SH
           is very complex, and while this wizard install
           tries VERY hard to change the right section,
           it may have failed.  Please, PLEASE inspect the
           file and compare it to the original (saved as
           FDEFAULT.SH.dist in /home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03/LINUX/SYSTEM/ATCANAR)
           to make sure the settings are right.  Do this
           BEFORE you proceed any further.

AipsWiz:  =====> Preparing for the "Midnight Job"...
AipsWiz:         MAKE.MNJ done (C Compiler and options)

The AIPS Midnight Job is a way to keep your AIPS
installation up to date.  It is secure, relatively
easy, and can be done on demand or in a cron job
(i.e. periodically, daily or weekly or whenever).
It does require that you have the cvs software
package installed on your system.

This script will set up the infrastructure for you
to be *able* to run the Midnight Job (MNJ), but you
have the power to make it run or not.

Should you choose to run the Midnight Job, the
'begin date' will be set to 20030828 (YYYYMMDD);
This is ONE day before the generation time
of /home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03.tar.gz (if I've subtracted right!)

AipsWiz: ==> If you want a different date, enter it now:: 20030827
AipsWiz: About to run '/home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03/LINUX/SYSTEM/ATCANAR/MAKE.MNJ 
20030827'...
AipsWiz: This will generate a fair bit of output.
AipsWiz: Engaging MAKE.MNJ...

sh: line 1: /home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03/UNKNOWN/SYSTEM/CDVER.SH: No such file or 
directory
AipsWiz: Not good; no LASTGOOD.DOC found; did MAKE.MNJ fail?
AipsWiz: You should investigate this.

AipsWiz: =========================================================
AipsWiz:  =====> start INSTEP2 and INSTEP4...

This takes hours, is VERY verbose (lots of output).
It compiles the AIPS libraries (INSTEP2),
and then links the 400 or so AIPS tasks (INSTEP4).
We can start it now, or you can run it yourself later
(instructions will be given if you do it later).

AipsWiz: ==> Shall I start INSTEP2 and then INSTEP4 here, now? [Y]:
sh: line 1: /home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03/UNKNOWN/SYSTEM/CDVER.SH: No such file or 
directory
AipsWiz: Error: INSTEP2 failed, no point in proceeding.
AipsWiz: Error: Look in /home/aips/AIPS/31DEC03/LINUX/INSTALL to see
AipsWiz: Error: if you can figure out what went wrong.  There are
AipsWiz: Error: many log and list files there.  You may want to do

grep -v ^- *.LIS

AipsWiz: Error: to see what modules did not compile.

AipsWiz: Install Wizard stopping.  Current settings saved in ~/.AIPSRC
AipsWiz: Abandoning ship!  Goodbye.
