The situation you describe typically happens when the CC environment variable
is not defined correctly.  The step:

sh tclcomp.sh /export/home/mcidas/tcl ../tcl ../tk tclcomp

goes to the ../tcl and then ../tk directories and runs configure to create
the Tcl and Tk makefiles.  It is the makefiles that are not being found
indicating that they were not created.

To find out what is going on, you should:

cd ~mcidas/mcidas7.6/src
rm tclcomp
cd ../tcl/unix
make distclean    (should fail due to lack of makefile)
cd ../../tk/unix
make distclean    (should fail due to lack of makefile)
cd ../../src
<make sure if CC is defined it points to an Ansi C compiler>
<if CC is not defined, make sure that the C compiler that is found first
 by virtue of your PATH is an Ansi C compiler; If you system is a Sun,
 it is likely that your PATH has /usr/ucb/bin before the directory that
 contains the SCx.x C compiler; you need to change this so that the
 SCx.x C compiler directory is before /usr/ucb/bin in your PATH>

If you found that your PATH was incorrect as described above, you should
now be able to restart your make.  If not, you should run the Tcl/Tk
configuration step by hand so that we can see the output from the
configure step:

sh tclconfig /export/home/mcidas/tcl ../tcl ../tk tclcomp

>Thanks,

Please let me know if this doesn't get you going again.

Yes, my dt path (with the dreaded /usr/ucb) had preceded my regular path.

You'll be happy to know that I followed the instructions meticulously
and by gosh the install went smooth (:

Thanks, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Mike
