Is this an installation of 07 in an environment that has an older
version already?  Have you accidentally changed the SITE name?
Check the $AIPS_ROOT/HOSTS.LIST file and your $HOME/.AIPSRC file.
This particular error most often occurs when install.pl sources
LOGIN.*SH and does not find the new site.

May I suggest that you use the binary installation instead.  The load
modules run much faster than those produced by the GNU compiler, esp
such an old version of the compiler.  If your site developes its own
code for AIPS, then you will need to compile locally.  Otherwise, the
binary release is simpler and faster.
