I'm sorry, I thought you were building from scratch because you were using Rick Gonzales's modifications. If you want to run from the binaries, you can download the idv_jars.zip from the untested directory, (ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/metapps/untested), unpack that into a directory and run: java -Xmx1000m -jar idv.jar You would need to have Java and Java 3D installed locally. Alternatively, you could use one of the InstallAnywhere installers in the untested directory (for the platform you are using), run the installer and that will give you a link to run to start the application. The metapps_src.jar is just a JAR of uncompiled source files. If you are not using this with Rick's mods, I'm curious as to what you are using the IDV for. We continue to find new users that we're not aware of and are trying to keep track of who is using the IDV and for what purpose. Let me know if this doesn't get you going.
