[ldmMcidas #LMZ-903767]: ldm-mcidas installation

Hi Bereket,

First, my sincere apologies for taking so long to get back to you on your
inquiry below!

re:
> I am trying to install ldm-mcidas and I am having the following error.
> The environment variables I use are also shown below.

OK, thanks.

re:
> My LDM was not configured with "-with-ulog" flag (ldm version 10 6.13.7).

OK.  This may be (at least part of) the cause of your difficulties.

re:
> I am using the following environment variables.

OK.

re:
> I don't have mcidas-X installed because it didn't let me download it.

Unfortunately, our license to distribute McIDAS-X limits us to making it
available to educational institutions or sites that are members in good
standing with the McIDAS User's Group (MUG) that UW/SSEC operates. Fortunately,
the ldm-mcidas decoders can be built without McIDAS being installed.

re:
> Is there a way to install the decoders without mcida-X and with ldm configured
> without "-with-ulog" flag.?

The answer to the first part of this question is yes; the answer to the
second part is unknown to me at this point.  I will need to build against
the latest LDM to see what needs to be done.

Hmm... the problem definitely stems from the old LDM ULOG entry points no longer
existing in the LDM library.  I just sent a note off to our LDM developer to see
if it is OK to run configure with the '--with-ulog' option but still use the 
newer logging package that is bundled with the LDM.  I will get back to you with
what I learn when I hear more about this new wrinkle.

Here are the environment settings that I use for building the ldm-mcidas
decoders when linking against older versions of the LDM:

# For LDM versions that do not include libxml2 and McIDAS-X versions
# that include HDF5
export CC=gcc
export CFLAGS=-O
export CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran'
export FC=gfortran
export FFLAGS='-O -Wuninitialized -fno-automatic'
export CPP_LDM=-I/home/ldm/include
export LD_LDM='/home/ldm/lib/libldm.a'
export CPP_MCIDAS=-I/home/mcidas/inc
export LD_MCIDAS='-L/home/mcidas/lib -lmcidas'
export CPP_NETCDF=-I/home/mcidas/mcidas2019/netcdf/include
export LD_NETCDF='-L/home/mcidas/lib -lnetcdf 
-L/home/mcidas/mcidas2019/hdf5/src -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5'
export LD_MATH=-lm

Again, I will get back to you with more information as soon as I hear back
from our LDM developer on the new '--with-ulog' flag for 'configure'.

Sorry for not being able to answer straight off!

Cheers,

Tom
