[daip] AIPS startup and run problems

[Sayali Avachat]

Hi,

I am a graduate student of Florida Institute of Technology.
I have been using AIPS for last 3 years but never got an error at startup
like the one below.


MSGserver: Starting AIPS task logging, Unix (local) domain

hostna> task #: Message
----------------------------------------
windu.> TPMON1: Begins on 2011.10.13 15:46:59
windu.> TPMON1: ZVTPRO: CHANNEL ASSIGN ERROR FOR REMOTE TAPE LUN   16
windu.> TPMON1: Unable to create socket.  ZVTPRO error     6
windu.> TPMON1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL CAUSE number      6
windu.> TPMON1: windu        31DEC10 TST: Cpu=       0.0  Real=       0

It does start with this error and then when I try using tasks like FILLM,
TVFLG, DBCON etc. it gives me errors like these :

windu.> TVFLG1: Task TVFLG  (release of 31DEC10) begins
windu.> TVFLG1: Begin finding a list of times to enter the grid
windu.> TVFLG1: Found   766 time intervals to grid, so
windu.> TVFLG1: begin gridding the data to a temporary TVFLGR file
windu.> TVFLG1: ZCREAT: FILE DA03:MAD02E001.10A; ALREADY EXISTS
windu.> TVFLG1: ZCREAT ERROR     1 FOR AH822_UA03A .TVFLGR.   2

windu.> TVFLG1: windu 31DEC10 TST: Cpu=      0.0  Real=      0  IO=

I tried deleting the file MAD02E001.10A; and rerun TVFLG it gives me new
error like the following one;

TVFLG1: Task TVFLG  (release of 31DEC10) begins

We recently have upgraded the systems in our lab to Fedora 15 and this all
started after that. We are using 31Dec2010 version of AIPS. Do you have any
idea what can be done to fix this?
My colleague here is trying to re-install AIPS on all the machines but we
are not sure if this will work.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
