[daip] Odd TV problem after AIPS recompile on AMD64

[Samuel Conner]

To Whom it may concern,

   I am running 31DEC04 AIPS on an AMD64 machine. I'm aware that this imposes a limit
on the data size I can process but this is not a problem for the observations I am processing at the moment. Migration to 31DEC05 will take a while as I have many custom features in my '04 installation. 

   I recently adjusted PKSZ.INC to accommodate a set of monster-sized RUN procedures, and
in lieu of rerunning FILAIP/POPSGN to regenerate the AIPS system files, I simply deleted everything and let the install wizard do a "from scratch" install for me. That looks silly, I'm sure, but I have had odd problems with the system files in prior adjustments to PKSZ, and this has been the lowest effort thing. 

   But I have an unexpected consequence. Below is the transcript of the beginning of an AIPS session. Toward the bottom there is an error message from the TV server that it cannot find something called "TrueColor" it needs to launch the TV. I also don't have tape IO but that does not trouble me. The XAS executable did get created during the install process.

  I am able to compute since this machine is running on autopilot; the TV was only for progress inspection. But at some point I may want to do interactive computing. 

  Does this error look familiar?

Thanks for your time and trouble,

Sam Conner
