   The main thing is to get a few environment parameters set so that
the command aips will run START_AIPS.  I put

export AIPS_ROOT=....    where ...  is my root area
. $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH

into my .bashrc file so that they are set when I log in.

Your XWindows/operating system does not recognize localhost:0 as your
own computer.  This is an operating system installation error but not
one I can fix for you - we put some guess in the FAQ but we are not
certain what the origin of this error actually is.  For the 31DEC04
version I have made a revision to START_TVSERVERS which I attach.  Put
this file in $AIPS_ROOT correcting the definition of AIPS_ROOT near
the beginning and making it executable:

# Usage: START_TVSERVERS TVOPT [VERSION] [UNIX|INET]
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# START_TVSERVERS starts the AIPS server processes on a workstation.  It
# takes care of defining the essential AIPS logicals (including TVDEV,
# etc) via HOSTS.SH, TVDEVS.SH, and AIPSPATH.SH.  There may be site or
# host specific overrides in AIPSASSN.SH, so it is called too.
#
# This script will either be called via a remote shell or locally.
#
# On Sun4 systems, it may be necessary to edit the first part of this

# generic X11 installations, just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the appropriate
# X11 library area.
#
# This file must have mode +x - done by install.pl usually.
