[daip] Fedora Core 5 and AIPS 31DEC06

[SUSAN BILL WIDER]

Hi.

   I installed Fedora Core 5 some time back and installed a fresh version of AIPS yesterday.  Everything looks fine except that ZSSSL2 finds an unknown host so I can't address the TV.  Similarly, TKPL can't find the host/service by name (error 3).  I also note that the AIPS_MSGSRV window doesn't have the true hostname ("blackhole") in the left-hand column i.e. I get

     hostna> task #: Message 

Looks like the hostname has got lost somewhere.  Yet 

   HOSTNAME=blackhole

and

   HOST= BLACKHOLE

which seems to be correct.

   So ... just in case this is a known issue with a ready solution, I thought I'd ask what the answer is before I start digging.

   One other thing ... the discussion about compilers for AIPS on the AIPS web pages seems to be rooted in about year 2000.  Most of us aren't running RH7.0 any longer and haven't been for a while.  Perhaps that discussion needs to be updated to reflect the use of Fedora Core versions.

                                                     Bill
