Adam,

Yes, it has!

Boy, I'll say.  FYI, I will be attempting to get the next McIDAS distribution
ready for release by the end of July.

OK, the problem is in the Tcl/Tk portion of the build.  I suggest doing
the following:

define CC to be cc instead of c89:

setenv CC cc

cd mcidas7.6/tcl/unix
make distclean
cd ../../tk/unix
make distclean
cd ../../src
rm tclcomp
make all

Hopefully, you did read the warnings about SC5.0 in the Notes and Warnings
page:  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/mcx/warnings_mcx.html.

>Any thoughts?  Do I have an environmental variable messed up somewhere?

I would guess that the problem is related to use of c89 instead of cc,
but the error seems to relate to the math library (by virtue of the
undefined symbol: hypot).

>Thanks

Please let me know if doing the above doesn't get you going.
