[daip] AIPS problem

[Jose' Manuel Afonso]

Hi there,
I did build AIPS from source, using gcc-2.95.3;
it built with no problems, but the problem for BPASS remains...
I tried then to compile everything with gcc-3.2.3 - again the problem
remains... BPASS works fine in SOLARIS (31DEC2003 AIPS version), doesn't
seem to work in LINUX (FEDORA, 31DEC2005 AIPS). I think I will now try to
install the 31DEC2004 AIPS version, maybe it has to do with something in
the new 2005 version...

if you have any ideas, I would welcome them very much...

thanks
Jose Afonso
