I noted that the .LIS files you sent showed that all C routines failed 
to compile.  Check your ~/.AIPSRC file for the CCOMOPT and CCOM options
- it is easy to have the -I option point at an obsolete version of AIPS 
no longer present on your computer.

Of course, Amy recommended that you do the binary installation which is 
better unless you plan to develop your own AIPS tasks.
