[daip] Problem installing AIPS

[Alan Marscher]

After a catastrophic computer crash, I have a new Linux computer, of the
X86-64 variety, running Ubuntu 9.10 with libc_2.10.1.so. I am trying to
install AIPS from the source code. A few things didn't compile, but the
first issue that I want to address is that install.pl failed to make XAS.
The messages are:

AipsWiz: About to try to make XAS...

rm -f *.o xas XAS
/usr/bin/gcc  -D_BSD -DUSE_SHM -O2 -axWPT -c xas.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-axWPT"
make: *** [xas.o] Error 1
AipsWiz: Error: Failed to build the XAS program.
AipsWiz: Error: This means no AIPS TV will be available.

Does this imply that there is something wrong with my gcc installation?

Thanks for any advice you can give me,
Al
