Bill,

It was _excellent_!  Three days of hiking, hot tubing, BBQs, and not
worrying about work.  Live was good.

>BUT....I gonna need some more suggestions

OK.

OK, so the failure is an indication that the netCDF library is not up
to the rev level that is needed.

Since the errors you are running into are in the build of the C++
interface, you could skip this part.  This can be done by making sure
that the environment variable CXX is defined as the empty string.
Check your environment:

env

and define CXX to be the empty string:

setenv CXX

Then, you will have to start from scratch again:

make distclean
./configure
make
make install

If you really want to address this fully, then I will send your problem
to someone more intimately concerned with netCDF matters.

re: making just pnga2area and area2png

Try doing the netCDF build with no CXX defined in your environment.
This should get you a viable netCDF library.  Then, do the full build
of ldm-mcidas and you should be going.  If you still have problems, I
am happy to logon as the user you are trying to build ldm-mcidas as
(most likely the user that is running your LDM) and have a go at it.

re: After you make the new decoder, you will need to:

Yes, exactly! :-)
