Hi John,

OK, makes sense.

Point taken.  On Linux, one typically looks for X libraries under
/usr/X11R6/lib, so LD_X11 should be set to:

LD_X11='-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11'

I will work this into the INSTALL file that is included with ldm-mcidas.
A scan of the file shows that it needs updating anyway.

>as well as not picking up some standard c headers.

Hmm... Which C headers?  I didn't see a problem in the log files you
sent that would explain this comment.

>Thanks again,

Thanks for the feedback.

I am probably mis-reading the messages in config.log; I am a newbie on gcc 
error messages,  but the headers include not just string.h, but stdio.h, 
stdlib.h, time.h, and others.    An sample of the text goes:


_____________________________________________________

configure:3902: checking C header file <string.h> for function strncpy()
configure:3913: gcc -c -O -DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran conftest.c 1>&5
configure:3906:60: macro "strncpy" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given

                    extern struct {int a; int b;} *strncpy();
                
int main() {

; return 0; }

I sure appreciate your time and help here,
