Pat,

>Yup.  I tried to abort the message.  But I still have a problem.  We

First, I am assuming that you are tyring to build McIDAS-X on a Sun
Solaris 5.7 SPARC system; true?  The reason that I assume this is
that someone there downloaded a binary ldm-mcidas distribution for this
platform.

The error message spit out by the compilation tells us what is going on:
your PATH has /usr/ucb included before the directory where your Sun
compilers should be installed (/opt/SUNWspro/bin).  In addition, you may
have the CC enviroment variable defined as /usr/ucb/cc.

If you have CC defined as /usr/ucb/cc, you need to change it to be
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc (if /opt/SUNWspro/bin is where the Sun C compiler
is to be found).  If your PATH is wrong (i.e., if /usr/ucb is before
/opt/SUNWspro) you need to correct your .cshrc file PATH entry.  After
changing .cshrc, you should:

logoff
log back on as 'mcidas'
cd mcidas7.6/src
make clobber
make all

Tom:

Yes, we are running Solaris 2.7 on the new Sun network.  We have done
as you suggested, and the compile process is currently underway.  We are
breaking for lunch and will check on the status afterwards (1/2 hr - 1 hr).

You were right---we did have /usr/ucb in the wrong spot.

Thanks again.

Pat
