Eddy,

Apparently, the build process can now find f2c, but the convdlm executable
never got made.  Take a look in ~mcidas/mcidas7.7/src/makelog and
find the section related to the build/link of convdlm (there will be
more than one place that this will be listed if you had several attempts
at building McIDAS).

Given the earlier problem with f2c not being found, I am assuming that
libf2c.a was not installed in a place that it could be found.  Did you read
the Notes and Warnings section of the McIDAS build procedure related
to users of gcc:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/770/mcx/warnings_mcx.html#gcc

This section contains information on how f2c, libf2c.a, and f2c.h should
be installed in order for McIDAS to be built.  After you follow the
example contained in the web page (as root), do the following to restart
the build process:

<login as 'mcidas'>
cd mcidas7.7/src
make clobber
make all
