Hi Matthew,

re:
> I have one related question - does ldm-mcidas build on Mac OSX ?

It should.  In fact, I created a binary distribution for MacOS-X and
put it out on our anonymous FTP server:

machine:   ftp.unidata.ucar.edu

Intel Mac:
directory: pub/binary/darwin_9.6-i386
file:      ldm-mcidas-2008.tar.gz

PowerPC Mac:
directory pub/binary/darwin_8.11-power_macintosh
file:      ldm-mcidas-2008.tar.gz

Try downloading and using the binary appropriate to your architecture.

I haven't run into this one before.  If a binary distribution does not work,
lets revisit this.

The error listed above does not have any relation to which McIDAS distribution
is used.

re:

Try the binary distribution appropriate for your hardware.

Cheers,
