It looks to me as if the install did not quite finish.  Addressing the 
matters in order

1. cd /Users/mac/DATA/LOIS_1
    touch SPACE
     which should make that data area available.

2. You should not create SPD000000; and PWD000000; and also should not 
create a MSD001000.001;.  They need to have initial values in them and 
the ZMSFI2 messages indicate an empty MS file and the other messages 
indicate that the SP and PW files are not where they are supposed to be.
Delete the ones you made.

3. cd $AIPS_ROOT
    source LOGIN.CSH    (or . LOGIN.SH for bash)
    $CDTST
    RUN FILAIP
    8 2
    RUN POPSGN
    0 POPSDAT TST
    <cr>

    You need to do the above exactly - FILAIP will create and populate 
the control files in your $DA00 area and POPSGN will then populate the 
POPS memory files with the initial POPS language data.

    If any of the above fails, send me all of the messages.

    Note that install.pl attempts to do these steps and, since it seems 
to have failed, there may be reasons for the failure that still apply.
One possibility is if you are running on a Mac with El Capitan (10.11) 
version of the operating system.  Then do the following before the RUN 
FILAIP command:
        If you are running on version 10.11 of the Max OS X called
        El Capitan, you need to do one more thing to correct for the
        loss of the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH functionality.
        First start bash, source $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH and $CDTST
        Then .$SYSMACIN/fix_aips_elcap.sh
        Do not run as root or under sudo and note the dot
        you will be prompted for your password once.
