[daip] I've broken my AIPS.

It is good to ask for help before spending too long on things.
Installing aips as root is a VERY bad idea. You need to now use root
to change the owner and group id of everything to you and your group.
That will get rid of the permissions troubles.
I suspect that your machine has a (common) system installation error
that causes $DISPLAY=<machine>:0 where <machine> is your host name to
not work under X. It is something like a missing loopback. to help
with this - in 31DEC04 I have made a revised version of
START_TVSERVERS which I attach below. Put this in your $AIPS_ROOT
area fixing the assignment of AIPS_ROOT (called DEFINE_ME in this
generic version).

# 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
# file if OpenWindows is not in use or in a nonstandard place. For
# 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.
