I am assuming that you have a binary LINUX installation.  In the disk 
area $SYSLOCAL, there should be a file of 0 bytes names RSYNC.ME.  It 
causes the aips proc to add $LIBR/INTELCMP to the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and 
thus to find the libsvml file.

I am not sure what has caused this failure.  One possibility is that the 
$SITE has gotten changed/corrupted.  $SYSLOCAL should be
     $AIPS_ROOT/31DEC10/$ARCH/SYSTEM/$SITE
so you should
     cd $AIPS_ROOT
     source LOGIN.CSH      (for tcsh and csh or  . LOGIN.SH  for bash)
     echo $HOST $SITE $SYSLOCAL
to check this.  If there is a discrepancy, check the HOSTS.LIST file in 
$AIPS_ROOT area.  If that is okay, cd to $SYSLOCAL and make sure 
RSYNC.ME is there and cd to $LIBR and make sure that the INTELCMP 
directory is there and populated with libsvml.so and libimf.so.

If it is still okay, type
    $CDTST
    echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and let me know what you see.

Cheers,
