James,
Earlier today you noted:
>We are having trouble compiling McIDAS 7.704 on AIX 4.3.3, and the problem
>appears to be similar to the HPUX-11 issue raised earlier.
The problem that your log output presents is specific to the build of
the C++ interface in the netCDF version included with McIDAS-X. The
version of the netCDF that is bundled with McIDAS-X is not the latest
Unidata an release in which the C++ 'friend attribute' problem has been
fixed. This versionitis problem is understandable given that the
release that addresses your was only made very recently,
Given that McIDAS does not need the C++ interface to the netCDF for any
of its applications, the workaround is very simple: define the Unix CXX
environment variable to be blank _before_ configure is run for netCDF
during the McIDAS build process.
I present a list of recommended environment variable definitions for
the netCDF in online documentation for Unidata McIDAS:
Notes and Warnings:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/770/mcx/warnings_mcx.html
Here is the section of recommended environment settings for AIX (the
syntax given is for C shell users):
AIX gale 3 4 001330614C00
setenv CC xlc
setenv CPPFLAGS -DNDEBUG
setenv CFLAGS -O
setenv FC xlf
setenv FFLAGS -O
setenv CXX
After one defines these enviornment variables as the user 'mcidas', s/he
needs to:
cd mcidas7.7x/netcdf
make distclean
(7.7x needs to be replaced by the appropriate directory for your distribution,
7.704 in your case).
After this, you can restart your McIDAS build which should proceed without
error (at least for the netCDF portion). For Unidata users, this would mean:
cd ~mcidas/mcidas7.x/src
make
Please let me know if the above procedure does not work for you.

Hi Tom,
Many thanks, this works.
Using ksh, I needed to do the following:
export CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG
export FC=xlf
export CFLAGS=-O
export FFLAGS=-O
export CXX=
Then the compile proceeded normally as you suggested it would.
Cheers,
Jame
