Haiyun,

What you did is correct.  The reason I said $HOME is that I didn't
know exactly what the HOME directory for your 'mcidas' user was.

OK.

Very strange indeed.  The invocation 'sh tclcomp.sh ...' is correct.
The '-vendor' flag tells me that you are attempting a build using
Sun-supplied compilers (e.g. SC4.2 or something other release) and
not gcc/f2c (a newly supported combination for a very limited set of
operating systems).

What you did not include in this reply was what compilers you are
trying to use.  For instance, what does the following commands return:

<login as 'mcidas'>
cd mcidas7.5/src
which cc
which f77

Tom,

I checked my cc complier and fortran compiler. My f77 is SC4.0.
That may be the problem. I was told that the f77 is SC5.0 so I didn't 
check it before.I will get a SC5.0 in a few days. I hope the problem 
can be solved.

Thank you very much for you help.
