Craig,

You got it.  When asking for support of McIDAS, you will always get me (Tom).

OK.  This is a configuration that I have not tried.

I have never seen NSUBSPA before.  Also, this appears to be the assembler
that is running.

No, sorry.  Plus, it appears that the version of mccomp that you are using
is different than mine.  I modified the version of mccomp.sh that went
out with my distribution to default to use of vendor compilers for all
systems except Linux and FreeBSD.  If a site wants to use gcc, then s/he
must specify the -gcc flag to mccomp invocations.

>2) Have you ever seen the error ending with NSUBSPA?

Nope.

Are, in fact, you using SSEC's McIDAS-X distribution and not mine?  If so,
there will be some disconnect since I changed the compiler to use defaults.
