[daip] Fwd: xterm?

[Howard Powell]

Thanks for the reply Eric.

Friday after I emailed you I installed the binary version of 31DEC06,  
which of course had the same problems with the disappearing xterms.   
Following your suggestion below, I added -hold (there was no  
commented section, but I figured it out).  I see now that TEKSRV.EXE  
and MSGSRV.EXE are both looking for the libsvml.so shared library  
from the intel compilers.

Our own version of the intel compilers are installed in /astro/intel/ 
compiler91/{lib, bin} rather than /opt/intel.  To get AIPS to work, I  
modified LOGIN.SH and LOGIN.CSH to include an LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/astro/ 
intel/compiler91/lib.  This path information isn't getting exported  
to the xterms when they fork.

Actually, the full $LD_LIBRARY_PATH after sourcing LOGIN.SH gets set to:
/astro/intel/compiler91/lib:/astro/intel/compiler91/lib:/astro/AIPS/ 
31DEC06/LINUX/LIBR/INTELCMP:/astro/AIPS/31DEC06/LINUX/LIBR/INTELCMP

I see that libsvml.so is in the AIPS tree.

Any ideas why $LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't getting exported properly to the  
subprocess?

Thanks!
