[daip] installation question

Hi,

I am trying to install AIPS (31DEC06) on my Linux PC, installed and set
the paths in the right places for the 2.95.3 compiler, but the XAS setup
bombs.  The messages I get are:

AipsWiz: About to unpack the XAS.SHR archive.
AipsWiz: Done.
AipsWiz: About to try to make XAS...

rm -f *.o xas XAS
/usr/local/bin/gcc  -D_BSD -DUSE_SHM -O2 -c xas.c
In file included from xas.c:31:
xas.h:52: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
xas.h:53: X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory
xas.h:54: X11/keysym.h: No such file or directory
In file included from xas.c:31:
xas.h:81: X11/extensions/XShm.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [xas.o] Error 1
AipsWiz: Error: Failed to build the XAS program.
AipsWiz: Error: This means no AIPS TV will be available.
AipsWiz: ==> Press <ENTER> to acknowledge::


Would you have any advice on how to fix this?  For example, where is the
package looking for the X utilities?  Must I run install.pl as root?

I'm not bothering to run the INSTEPs until install.pl runs without
errors.

Thanks,

-tim
