[IDD #YXF-596402]: VM for McIDAS at DU

Hi Matt,

Given my recommendations on setting environment variables before retrying
a build of ldm-mcidas, I am surprised to see 'c89'.  I have run into problems
before when the C compiler is set to c89 (unlike the LDM build which wants
one to use 'c89'), and the solution has always been to use 'cc' or 'gcc'.

Please retry using the following settings:

make distclean

setenv CC gcc
setenv CPPFLAGS "-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran"
setenv CFLAGS -O
setenv FC gfortran
setenv FFLAGS "-O -Wuninitialized -fno-automatic"
setenv CPP_LDM -I/usr/local/ldm/include
setenv LD_LDM '-L/usr/local/ldm/lib -lldm'
setenv CPP_MCIDAS -I/home/mcidas/inc
setenv LD_MCIDAS '-L/home/mcidas/lib -lmcidas'
setenv CPP_NETCDF -I/home/mcidas/include
setenv LD_NETCDF '-L/home/mcidas/lib -lnetcdf'
setenv LD_MATH '-L/usr/lib -lm'

I completely agree with this approach.  This is the main reason that
both the LDM and McIDAS are offered only as source.

re:
> does this look like an obvious build error?

I think the error associated with 'alaram' will go away when 'c89'
is not used as the C compiler.

Cheers,

Tom
