[daip] AIPS installation problem:First Tek and Message Servers not working (Ubuntu) , Then Totally Link Error

[Zhixiong Liang]

Hi,

I am trying to install AIPS (31DEC08) on my linux pc (Ubuntu 8.04,DELL
inspiron 1420),and I have installed
 all the needed compiler,when I installed AIPS for the first
time,several linking problems occoured,which
caused Tek and Message Servers' not working.
Then I deleted all the AIPS archives,and installed AIPS for the second
time.But more linking errors occoured:
...
...
