The 'make test' failure you ran into was due to my error: I failed to include the NLDN test file in the manifest of files for the source distribution of ldm-mcidas. I just put out a new source ldm-mcidas distribution that does include this test file, so you could get it if you wish. I would advise you that you can probably skip this step. If you want to insure that the test works correctly, then FTP the test file, 9912406.nldn, from the pub/ldm-mcidas directory of our anonymous FTP server, ftp.unidata.ucar.edu, and put it in the src/decode directory of the ldm-mcidas distribution (make sure to FTP the file in binary mode!). After doing that you should be able to run 'make test' with no errors. Sorry for the problems. Tom Yoksas
