[daip] MNJ library problem?

[Robert Mutel]

Thanks all.

I think the writing on the wall is to upgrade our O/S. Since the UI
has a sweetheart deal [no cost to Dept license] with RH we will
probably upgrade to  RHEL 5, although I concur with Pat that the free
Linux dists. e.g. Ubuntu are quite nice (I use Ubuntu at the Iowa
Robotic Observatory).

In the meantime I did a binary install of AIPS on my new 27in quad
core i7 iMac and it works great.
