Unless you are trying to write your own AIPS tasks I suggest that you 
install the binary version rather than compile locally.

Edit your .AIPSRC file to say YES for the INSTALL_FROM_NET parameter and 
clear the DOWNLOADED parameter.  Then in your $AIPS_ROOT area say
    perl install.pl -n
This uses rsync to copy all the source code and binaries.  The latter 
are build with the Intel compiler which produces code that runs faster 
than the code produced by gfortran.  In fact, I have never tried 
gfortran on a Mac, just various versions of the Intel compiler.  Using 
gfortran would require a bunch of edits in places to get the correct 
parameters for that compiler rather than the parameters of the Intel one.

The binary installation is easily updated via the MNJ.  But if you 
really need to compile locally I will see what I can do to help.
