Jennie,

The netCDF build stuff is not logged into makelog.

Because of problems building the C++ portion of the netCDF on some systems,
just last night I changed my "Notes and Warnings" file to tell people
to define CXX as nothing before building McIDAS-X.

The C shell syntax for doing this is:

setenv CXX

I am not really sure what the the Korn shell syntax for doing this is,
but it must be something like:

export CXX=

You should set this in your shell environment file (.kshrc in your case
I believe) and make sure that an 'env' listing shows that CXX is
defined as nothing before doing the build.

At the point you are now, you should:

<setup the CXX environment definition and make sure it is active in your 
session>
cd mcidas7.7/netcdf
make distclean
cd ~/mcidas7.7/src
make mcx

The netCDF should be rebuilt without the C++ interface and things should
proceed.
