Hmm...  this is the same error that you got when you tried to run tclconfig
by hand.  It usually signifies a problem in the environment settings
used by configure during the Tcl/Tk setup.

Is this a link to gcc?

You can comment out the CXX.

Only if /usr/bin/cc is not the same as gcc.

So, the next thing I need to see is the contents of the configure log
file in the ~mcidas/mcidas7.6/tcl/unix directory.  This will be present
after the failure, but will be wiped out if a 'make clobber' has been
run.

>Thank you for your help!

Any chance that I could get a login as the user you are trying to build
McIDAS as?
