[daip] More 64 bit AIPS installation trouble

[Wes Young]

Sam,

Well the first trick is going to be to get you a working compiler.   
First check the documentation link off the http://www.gnu.org/ 
software/gcc/gcc.html page. I would also try the latest version of  
gcc-3.4.4.  I'll take a bit more time to look at things once I get  
into the office a bit later today.

We have anecdotal reports that AIPS works with 64bit and AMD at the  
CFA.  Eric dealt with them but I believe he will be out-of-touch for  
the next day or so.
