You should change your /etc/services file to include the AIPS
services - see
     http://www.aipc.nrao.edu/aipsmgr/
But the failure here was due to mis-typing.  You cannot put a space
in the tv=local part of the command line.  The START_AIPS proc tried to 
start Inet servers because of that blank.

These messages do not indicate whether AIPS itself worked or not.  The 
servers failed to come up is all that these messages show.
