Most peculiar - a set of error I have not seen.  Go to the $AIPS_ROOT
area and

source LOGIN.CSH   or . LOGIN.SH for bash
$CDTST
cd $YSERV/XAS
ls -laF 


It should show something like this (different dates, owners etc) but
the same file sizes and names.

install.pl attempts to edit Makefile to set the line CC_$ARCH (e.g.
CC_LINUX) to the specific compiler.  Then it does (in perl)

system("sh -c '. $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH; make clean; make'");

If it has some problem recognizing the host or site this will fail but
I suspect something went wrong in editing Makefile.

You could rm * in this directory (ONLY!) then
sh ../XAS.SHR

which will make a new set of files.  Then check the CC_LINUX line in
Makefile to make sure it points at your C compiler.

Then

make
