Greetings.  The 31DEC18 AIPS install.pl script is unable to create new directories in the $AIPS_ROOT area when running under OSX 11.13 (High Sierra).  This may be caused by Apple's new System Integrity Protection (SIP) system, but I get the same "cannot create directory" error after disabling SIP.  The install script gets through updating HOSTS.LIST successfully, but fails when trying to create the $AIPS_ROOT/31DEC18 directory: # ----- AIPS_ROOT files -----chdir($AIPS_ROOT);if( ! -d $myvers ){ say "$AIPS_ROOT/$myvers does not exist, will be created."; mkdir($myvers, 0755);}This is apparently a problem with permissions, but the existing $AIPS_ROOT directory protections allow group write, so I am not sure what the problem is.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.  Thank you. - Dayton Jones
