    This says that there is a file called XAS that is not executable
which I find very strange in any case.
cd $AIPS_ROOT
. LOGIN.SH    (or source LOGIN.CSH for tcsh shell)
cd $LOAD
ls -laF XAS*

If that seems strange or you are having trouble running aips itself
look at the rest of the contents of $LOAD.  A fix would be to blow
away the files names XAS* and run a MNJ which should do an rsync on
$LOAD.

Did he get to the compiling and actually compile stuff?
