[daip] AIPS on 64-bit LINUX (FC6)

[Leonardo Testi]

Hi,
    we are trying to check whether AIPS can be installed on a new  
multi processor 64-bit machine running Fedora Core 6.

I am running into some problems with the installation/compilation and  
was wondering whether you have some tips.

- I tried the binary installation, but this fails (not surprising  
perhaps)
   (If you think it may be useful I can send you more details)

- I tried to compile from scratch using the install.pl script and the  
31DEC07.tar.gz
   We have installed the following compilers:
   gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)
   gcc34 (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-4)

   I tried both of them and the error I have is the same.
   The compilation proceeds up to a point when INSTEP2 crashes

    There is a relatively lomng list of modules that do not compile.
    The errors that I got from INSTEP2 are something like:

/home/ltesti/AIPS/31DEC07/LINUX/PREP/ZWINC2.c: In function â:
/home/ltesti/AIPS/31DEC07/LINUX/PREP/ZWINC2.c:51: error: storage size  
of â isnât known
/home/ltesti/AIPS/31DEC07/LINUX/PREP/ZWINC2.c:53: error: â undeclared  
(first use in this function)
/home/ltesti/AIPS/31DEC07/LINUX/PREP/ZWINC2.c:53: error: (Each  
undeclared identifier is reported only once
/home/ltesti/AIPS/31DEC07/LINUX/PREP/ZWINC2.c:53: error: for each  
function it appears in.)
/home/ltesti/AIPS/31DEC07/LINUX/PREP/ZWINC2.c:53: error: invalid  
application of â to incomplete type â

    This is the last one, I could not scroll up the log to the  
earlier ones.


Perhaps both compiler versions are not correct?

Thanks for your insihts...
