Harry,

>I have a problem on my Sparc SunOS 5.6 system.

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

>When I type "make", everything

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.
