The file is name /home/xixi/.AIPSRC please note the . - the file is 
named period followed by upper case AIPSRC
and that a standard ls will NOT show the file. You must do an ls -a to 
see it.

There are clearly some residue of the naming your site with an 
apostrophe still left.


Unterminated quoted string occurs twice above - check the file
$AIPS_ROOT/HOSTS.LIST
It may still list your site as XI'S. Change that to whatever you now want
using your favorite text editor.
