[daip] Problem with teksrv

[Ramiro Franco-Hernandez]

Hi Eric
	I'm running Ubuntu linux 5.04 in a dell laptop D600. When I run
AIPS with
	aips tv=local
I get tree new windows, the TV (that works ok), the MSGSRV (also ok) and
the one labeled AIPS_TEKSRV_1 with this  text on it

"Enter TEKSERV, Unix (local) domain"

is in this last one that I get the code when runing TKPL but I
never get a new window with the plot.

I tried to use KLEENEX as you said but when I restart AIPS it behaives the
same way.


This is the output when I start AIPS:


START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the

   Tape 1 is REMOTE
   Tape 2 is REMOTE
