Harry,

I made binary distribution for ldm-mcidas 7.6.3 available for this OS.

The output you include below shows that the make was trying to build
area2png when if failed.  This should have been made at the 'make'
step, so I am confused.

After running make, the libudport.a library should have been made.  It is
strange that it was being updated during the make install step.

So, the extra 'ar rcuv /home/disk/ldm/ldm-mcidas-7.6.3/lib/libudport.a 
uddummy.o'
step seems to have hammered libudport.a.  This is the cause of the failure.

At this point, I would:

cd src
make distclean
ls port/misc/*.o               <- to see if something is screwed up
./configure
make
make test
make install

Your last suggestion worked fine.  Thanks.
