cd $AIPS_ROOT
soure LOGIN.CSH   (or . LOGIN.SH under bash)
$CDTST
cd 31DEC03/LINUX/INSTALL
ls -l

edit the file APLGEN.LIS - sorry I had the name wrong - to put the
minus sign in front of the line with ZSBIND.C in it

Then restart install.pl.

You have done nothing wrong except worry too much and ignore the
remark that comes out at the failure point of install.pl

grep -v "-" 31DEC03/LINUX/INSTALL/*.LIS 

to see what has failed.
