[daip] AIPS problem

[Jose' Manuel Afonso]

Hello again,
well, somehow this does not seem to work:
31DEC2004 (both pre-compiled and locally built) - again, BPASS doesn't
seem to understand my data, and returns NAN values.

I am trying to install 31DEC2003 on LINUX (since this was the version I
have been using in Solaris), but there is some problem with compiling
ZSBIND, no matter what compilers I use...

could this problem with BPASS be due to the use of FEDORA? seems weird,
since all compiles well for both 2004 and 2005 versions of aips... but
then, what can explain a given dataset being ok for a solaris 2003 AIPS
version and not good (for one task) for a LINUX 2004 or 2005 AIPS version?

sorry about keep bothering you about this...

Jose
