I appreciate your hard work to avoid asking for help - but that isn't
entirely needed.  Please feel free to ask for help.

Can you send me all the messages that appear in your xterm window when
you start AIPS?  These may help me to determine what is going wrong.

BTW - there have been reports of problems with the GNU 3.3.x compilers
under fedora; 3.2.2 works okay.
