Hi Eric and/or DAIP,
I am stuck and hope I have a simple problem. Apologies if this is
really basic.
Our firewall enforcers block our rsynch port, so the normal installation
doesn't work for machines behind the Goddard firewall.
So, I did the installation on my laptop, at home, over our home DSL
link. I wanted to install the executables that you provide, to get the
faster performance. I had a few false starts, but got it working once
I got the logical assignments / links / aliases sorted out.
My laptop is a Mac Powerbook G4, with PPC. My desktop is a
Mac G5, also PPC. They are running the same version of the same
OS.
I thought I could just copy the installation from the laptop to the G5,
change the disk names from LOCALHOST_X to their names on
the G5, and it would work. Well, it sort of works, but I've apparently
missed something. When I am in the top aips directory (AIPS_ROOT)
and type "start_aips" , it starts, asks about printers, talks about
disks and
tapes, sees all my data, does help correctly etc., start the TV - so far
seems to work fine.
However, it doesn't know what to do if I say "aips", in that or any other
directory. It says
tcsh: aips: Permission denied
which sounds like it's trying to read some protected file.
When I say which aips it says aips: command not found.
I'm guessing I have some logical path that I'm not getting set correctly,
but I am out of ideas for what it is. I'm hoping this is something that
you can say "Aha - you just need to edit the ******** file to say
------------------- "
My apologies if this is documented somewhere - I have been trying to
find something like this in the documentation but haven't so far found
it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-s-
