Hi,

OK.  Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is one way of solving the problem, but it is
more brittle than the other way:

Force use of the static LDM and (non-existent) McIDAS libraries:

set:

export LD_LDM="$LDMHOME/lib/libldm.a"
export LD_MCIDAS="$MCIHOME/lib/libmcidas.a"
export LD_FORTRAN='-static -lf2c'

$LDMHOME/lib/libldm.a exists so needed entry points should be found, and
$MCIHOME/lib/libmcidas.a does not exist but this should not be an issue
since there should be no entry points needed from the McIDAS library.
Most of this is to simply satisfy 'configure'.

OK.

One comment:

PGE is not a university, so it is not allowed to get NLDN lightning data
via the IDD, and this, in turn, implies that you won't need the
'nldn2md' routine.  In addition, files created by 'nldn2md' are only
useful in Unidata McIDAS-X, so you wouldn't use them anyway.


Cheers,

Tom
