Let me explain the process a little although I do not have a clue what
is happening on your computer (no one else has had this problem in the
1000's of installs that have been done):

1. $SYSLOCAL/PP.EXE reads a file and substitutes some pre-processor
   things like INCLUDE files, etc copying $AIPSUB/ADVERB.FOR to
   $PREP/ADVERB.f.

2. g77 then compiles $PREP/ADVERB.f

3. COMRPL then purges $PREP/ADVERB.f

You did not send me the output from your COMRPL so I do not know
how to interpret the absence of ADVERB.f.

Try

cd $AIPS_ROOT
source LOGIN.CSH
$CDTST

cd to some area of your own
cp $AIPSUB/ADVERB.FOR .
COMRPL ADVERB
ls -laF ADVERB*

if that makes a .f file then try

COMRPL $AIPSUB/ADVERB DEBUG NOOPT

and send me all the output
