[daip] AIPS Install Issue : 31DEC2011

[Stuart Weston]

Eric,

Thank you for that. No I am not planning to write any AIPS apps.

So I'll try the binary install early next week.

Thanks, Stuart

Are you planning to write your own AIPS tasks?  If not, you should
consider using the binary installation instead of compiling with
gfortran/g77/gcc.  The load modules will run faster.  This is achieved
with a

perl install.pl -n

You may have to edit the $HOME./AIPSRC file to remove references to the
gnu compilers and maybe other things.

The XAS Makefile is not auto-edited and has to be done by hand if you
are compiling locally - which I do not recommend.  Edit the file
$YSERV/XAS/Makefile correcting the lines with LINUX or LNX64 (depending
on which you chose) to match your compiler - but use the binay if you can.
