[daip] Problems compiling aips31dec10

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Hi Ulrich,

Well, first question is do you have a good reason to compile AIPS?  The binary 
version runs much faster on most machines and is easier to install.  All you 
have to do is type "perl install.pl -n" for the binary install.

If you *must* have a local compilation.  Have you done a grep -v ^- *.LIS to see 
what failed?
