Roger,

My first question is whether or not you defined Unix environment
variables needed to build the netCDF component of the McIDAS-X
distribution.  Please review:

for information on what variables should be set and how to set them.

systems.

It looks like the initial configure step in the mcidas7.7/netcdf
directories did not create the makefile needed to build ncdump.

Try the following:

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