WOW!  You have truly dug a deep hole of some sort.  You are on a LINUX 
machine with a few Solaris load modules but most are missing.  Your 
system, areas are missing even the generic versions and certainly the 
specific versions required to execute.

   If I were you, I would delete everything rm -rf $AIPS_ROOT/31DEC08. 
Then I would look at the file ~/.AIPSRC and see what it says.  I suspect 
that it identifies your machine as SUL.  Then start over

         perl install.pl -n

and think about the questions it asks and reply carefully.
