install.pl pauses at a certain point and instructs you to run a certain 
script (in bash).  I would guess that you did not do that.

The script should have copies in your $AIPS_ROOT area and is named 
fix_aips_elcap.sh.  It must be run in a bash window by someone with sudo 
privilege.  It makes links to certain Intel libraries which we provide 
and also tries to set up X11 library links.  The directory 
/usr/local/lib contains the links.

The issue could be with your X11 libraries and you may need to upgrade 
your XQartz version.

I should point out that you are trying to run on an OS version more 
recent than any we have and so there may be issues we have not 
encountered as yet.
