I had just found this when making another attempt at getting g77 to work compiling McIDAS-X. The solution (which I will be inluding in the 7.705 addendum soon) is to simply delete the second declaration or comment it out. After that you can resume your build by typing: make or make all depending on if you are building McIDAS-X or McIDAS-X and -XCD. >The environ. was as required for v4.0: >CC=/bin/cc >CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG >CFLAGS=-O >FC=/bin/f77 >FFLAGS=-O >CXX= This one was strictly a replication of a declaration line. The OS/1 4.0 Fortran compiler (and the ones for all other supported OSes) did not much care about this replication. It seems that the DEC OSF/1 5.0 one (and g77) does.

Good news! >FYI there were a couple other >files with the same problem and same solution: > >astat.pgm - iniflg - line 2910 >datavail.pgm - size - line 592 Thanks, I should have reviewed my notes before answering your inquiry yesterday as I had found both of these in my attempt to get things working with g77. Looks like the OSF/1 5.0 Fortran compiler will be a good one to use to clean up some code. On another note, are you planning on installing/running the remote ADDE server on this machine? The reason I ask is that I am troubleshooting a problem that has cropped up when serving sounding data (Skew-Ts and Hodographs) through the remote ADDE server on Linux machines (problem so far seen on RedHat 6.2 and 7.0). I am curious if this same problem will show up under OSF/1 5.0. Please let me know if you are planning on doing the install (or want help doing the install). >Thanks again, -Neil Tom >From address@hidden Tue Feb 13 10:50:29 2001 >Subject: Re: 20010212: doubly typed u0getcolor in raobcon.pgm (cont.) Well, I suppose I could. This platform looks like a good candidate. But it may be a day or two before I can get to it. Will keep you informed. (Most likely via faint screams of stark terror you'll hear out your window from somewhere down south.) -Neil
