[daip] problem in installing 31DEC05 AIPS version on laptop

[Rachel Osten]

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem installing 31DEC05 on my Linux laptop, 
platypus (AIPS was installed at NRAO-CV, but the laptop is now with me 
at UMd).  The previous version of AIPS installed was 31DEC03, and I was 
having problems getting AIPS to work after a forced (unclean) shutdown, 
so decided to instal the latest version.  I downloaded the tarball and 
the install.pl files, and followed the instructions for using the 
install wizard.  All seemed to be going well, and I ran INSTEP2 and 
INSTEP4 without incident.  When  the wizard tried to then run FILAIP, it 
reported an error:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Data disk assignments:
  (Using global default file /export/data_1/aips/DA00/DADEVS.LIST for 
DADEVS.PL)
DADEVS.PL error - no disks selected at all
This is a FATAL error and nothing in AIPS will work.
 
*********************************************************
HELP!  No Defined data areas!  You can proceed now to run
program FILAIP, but you may see LOTS of complaints about
not being able to access the message file.  If you think
there should have been some data areas defined, please
check DADEVS.LIST or .dadevs files, or AIPSASSN.\*
*********************************************************
If you want to proceed, enter YES (uppercase) now:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I checked /export/data_1/aips/DA00/DADEVS.LIST and there are data disks 
in there -- they are the ones which existed from the previous version of 
AIPS.  These are also the directories I put in at step 7 in the install 
wizard.  I can't find anything obviously wrong in AIPSASSN.SH.  One 
thing I noticed is that I can't find the file $AIPS_ROOT/DADEVS.SH.  I'm 
assuming that was supposed to be created during the install process?

Any insights?

Thanks,
Rachel
