[daip] Issue installing AIPS on FC9

[Chun Ly]

Hi,

 I'm trying to install AIPS on my laptop, which has Fedora core 9.

 The installation went fine. I sourced the AIPS LOGIN .csh file. I had to
 fix a problem with the DADEVS.LIST file where a minus sign was in the
 path location (changed to a plus)

 Upon typing aips, I get the following error and AIPS exiting. All the
 servers did load up fine from what I can tell:

[chun at LOCALHOST ~]$ aips
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the
START_AIPS:  - system name , AIPS type

I'm not certain why it was looking for DA01, since that does not exists.

Perhaps I should delete everything, and start from scratch?

Thanks,

P.S. I installed it before on FC6 and had no problems. Not sure what the
cause is this time around.
