Step 2. Fetch the Source Code

First fetch the source code via anonymous CVS:

   yourhost% cd /aips++
   yourhost% cvs -r -d :pserver:anonymous@polaris.cv.nrao.edu:/home/cvs checkout -d code casa/code

This will fetch the main development branch of AIPS++. After the checkout completes you will need to configure the source installation

   yourhost% cd code
   yourhost% chmod 544 install/configure.cvs
   yourhost% install/configure.cvs

You will be asked a series of questions, most of which have sensible defaults, aimed at constructing the AIPS++ aipshosts (p) file. You then have to edit your site-specific aipsrc (p) and makedefs (p) files. Template versions of these files are supplied by configure (p) and you should read the instructions carefully. After making your site-specific definitions configure will run some tests to check whether your makedefs definitions look sensible. Your install directory will then be made. This consists of a few C compilations and installation of some shell scripts, the most important of which is inhale (p) itself. Ignore any error message from gmake (p) concerning the non-existence of various subdirectories of /aips++/code.
