Rather quickly I have done two tests:
1. I ran aips on our AMD 64 machine using the Intel compiler load
modles. It worked and had an aips mark with Y2K of 177. Running
IMAGR with DOTV=1 worked fine.
2. I build aips with the GNU 3.4.4 compiler. The changes needed were
a fix to install.pl to recognize x86_64 machines as LINUX, droppint
the align double from FDEFAULT, fixing the library path for make of
XAS, and telling INSTEP4 to ignore a failure of compilation on
$APGOOP/CL2HF. It ran DDT and Y2K fine with an aips mark of 165
and did IMAGR with the TV well also.
You could probably use the former (install.pl -n) but may have to
install a few more libraries on your system. I seem to remember you
having a missing ncurses library at run time. This has to be
installed with the ncurse-developer RPM. We have had trouble with the
Intel compiler being over-enthusiastic in its optimizations.
Alternatively, the 3.4.4 compilers g77 and gcc seem to work so far. It
may well be the compilers that are in your /usr/bin area. I believe
that gfortran does not really start until 4.0 and that release has
been a disaster for us.
