          that is not suprising you did the right thing

         this is I think in building readline from source and if I
remember the doc and examples areas are not included and of no use to
you

     $SYSLOCAL/FDEFAULT.SH invokes these only for unknown compiler -
does the install think your fortran is something other than g77 or
ifort?  This is an error.

     The readlin e shipped with 04 is older than that shipped with 05
but there are not so many changes.  I suspect you have not set up
things right in the compiler details - check your ~/.AIPSRC file.
