Setting up the $PATH to ObitTalk has always confused me.  You need to 
talk to Bill Cotton about it, rather than the AIPS group.  I have CC'ed 
him on this e-mail and he may be able to advise you.  You should cd to 
the area /home/atanukoley/AIPS/obit-distro-1.1.598/bin and see if you 
can access it and what it contains (ls -l for starters).
