The .AIPSRC entry helps install.pl to know the desired answer but some programs the use the files that have been set up instead of the information from install.pl.  These use the HOSTS.LIST file and are not finding your computer name and site name.

Your machine is named LUPUS and is not even mentioned in HOSTS.LIST.
