[daip] AIPS compilation problem

[Philip Lah]

Hello daip at nrao.edu,

   I have been trying to install AIPS on a Fedora 14 Linux 64bit machine 
without sucess.  Frank Briggs (my supervisor) suggested I contact you.

   I first tried a binary installation and got nowhere so I have been 
working on getting a Text installation working.

I have reached the stage of INSTEP2 but this fails with:

AipsWiz: Error: INSTEP2 failed, no point in proceeding.


Looking in the INSTEP2.LOG there are the below failed compliation message:

COMRPL    : Compile failed!
COMRPL    : Deleted    /home/AIPS/AIPS/31DEC11/LNX64/PREP/UVDESC.f

COMRPL    : Compile failed!
COMRPL    : Deleted    /home/AIPS/AIPS/31DEC11/LNX64/PREP/POSITION.f


The only other problems I could find in the INSTEP2.LOG were a series of 
messages like this:


/home/AIPS/AIPS/31DEC11/LNX64/PREP/POSITION.f:679: (continued):
                CALL IMDGET (OUT, 'CRVAL', TYPE, DIM, CRVAL, CDUMMY, IERR)
                     2
Argument #5 of `imdget' is one precision at (2) but is some other 
precision at (1) [info -f g77 M GLOBALS]


I am not sure whether or not these would be a fatal errors.


I am at a loss on how to fix these compilation problems.  I have a 
suspicion that it may be due to the compiler options I used.  I do not 
have access to ifort or icc so I am using g77 and gcc.  In order to get 
these to work I had to remove several of the Compiler options.

Currently I am using g77 with

-c -ff90 -ip

(previously with ifort -c -axWPT -w90 -w95 -cm -ip -save all)

and gcc with

-c -O3 -ip -I/home/AIPS/AIPS/31DEC11/INC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 
-DHAVE_LINUX_GLIBC

(previously with icc -c -O3 -ip -axWPT -I/home/AIPS/AIPS/31DEC11/INC 
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_LINUX_GLIBC   that is no -axWPT used with 
gcc)

It is possible that I need to add some options for g77 and gcc to replace 
the ones I removed in order for ISTEP2 to compile.  It is also possible 
that it is something completely different going wrong.

   Any help that you could provide would be most welcome.

   Bye
         Philip Lah
