./ means the local copy and was preceded by a cd to $LOAD.  Were youu
in $LOAD when you saw an empty file?

Assuming yes, did you do a binary install or did you compile things
locally?

If the latter:

cd $AIPS_ROOT
source LOGIN.CSH     (or . LOGIN.SH for bash)
$CDTST
cd $YSERV/XAS
make clean
make

what happens?
