The first question is - why are you compiling the code?  The second is - 
what compilers are you using?  They seem to be C++ but beyond that???

If you are going to write your own AIPS tasks, then you do need a local 
compilation.  However, if not, the binary installation produces 
executables that run significantly faster than those of the gnu 
compilers.  Do
     perl install.pl -n
for the "network" or binary installation.
