What operating system are you using and what version?
Start up aips and then in another window cd /tmp
and do an ls -l. Send me the full outputs of both.
What sort of window are you using to issue the aips tv=local command?
I am sending this to a systems person who may be able to provide more
advice. Note that our xterm comes with the OS and is in /usr/bin .
