Thanks for reply.
First I would like to mention I am using Ubuntu8.10 version.
yes I started binary installation with perl install.pl -n command.
After typing $CDTST it gives me following error:
bash: /home/viral/aips1/31DEC08/LINUX/SYSTEM/VIRAL-LAPTOP/CDVER.SH: No such
file or directory
then still I typed aips and getting following thing:

START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the
