[daip] aips installation error

[Priyadarshini Bangale]

Dear sir,
I tried a lot to install aips '07 version but in installation it was giving
error in INSTEP2 as I mentioned in my previous mail.
That why I want to edit this file.
But now I have installed aips successfully.
Actually the problem was in APLGEN.LIS.
In which the line for ZSACPT was not having '-' or was not commented
whatever may it be.
So i did that and I have compiled the installation again as you said by
using 'perl install.pl -n'
and after that it completed installation but still it created problem with
aips root area so I have edited START_AIPS.
And then I have added some lines in '/etc/services' in local services
and now aips is working fine.
Thank you so much for your immediate help sir.

With best regards
Priyadarshini Bangale
