[daip] AIPS Installation help {External}

[Mattias Lazda]

Good afternoon,

I'm currently trying to install AIPS on my local machine with the following specifications:

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900KF
Motherboard: Z790 AORUS ELITE AX

During the binary installation (following the instructions here:http://www.aips.nrao.edu/dec23.shtml) I run into the following error:

```
Starting up FILAIP (RELEASE OF 31DEC23)
/home/mattias/Software/AIPS_ROOT/31DEC23/LNX64/LOAD/FILAIP.EXE: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
AipsWiz: Error: FILAIP did not work, or there's a missing file!
AipsWiz: Error: This may mean that FILAIP did not work (it should have
AipsWiz: Error: created it and many other files in that area).
AipsWiz: Error: You can try running it by hand after (a) dotting the
AipsWiz: Error: LOGIN.SH file or sourcing the LOGIN.CSH file; and
AipsWiz: Error: (b) Typing 'RUN FILAIP'.  You will then be asked for
AipsWiz: Error: two parameters.  Use
8 2

AipsWiz: Error: as the standard values.
AipsWiz: Error: You will also have to RUN POPSGN if that works;

AipsWiz: Error: Feed it

0 POPSDAT TST


AipsWiz: Error: when it asks for Idebug, etc. and press RETURN when
AipsWiz: Error: you see the '>' prompt.



AipsWiz: Install Wizard stopping.  Current settings saved in ~/.AIPSRC
AipsWiz: Abandoning ship!  Goodbye.

```

Upon attempting to follow the error instructions (e.g. dotting the LOGIN.SH file and running FILAIP) I obtain the following error:

```
Data disk assignments:
DADEVS.PL: This program is untested under Perl version 5.030
  (Using global default file /home/mattias/Software/AIPS_ROOT/DA00/DADEVS.LIST for DADEVS.PL)
   Disk 1 (1) is /home/mattias/Software/AIPS_ROOT/DATA/LOCALHOST_1

Starting up FILAIP (RELEASE OF 31DEC23)
/home/mattias/Software/AIPS_ROOT/31DEC23/LNX64/LOAD/FILAIP.EXE: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```

Do you have any suggestions on what I could try to get past this error? I'm happy to send any additional logs if there are any that would be useful.

Thank you very much,

Mattias
