We recently upgraded our server to Redhat 7.3. Since this upgrade I >am having trouble with mcidas. I will take it that you made _no_ changes to the McIDAS installation that coincided with the OS upgrade. >We are able to start multiple sessions (we're >still using mcidas 7.8), but only one machine out of 11 will correctly >receive the datafeed. The others poop out on an imgdisp fail in Mcgui. Can you send along the output of the IMGDISP command so I can take a look? You can get to the output by clicking mouse button 1 on the MCGUI icon that has a keyboard on it. The output from all commands run from the MCGUI will be found in the window that pops up. >I know this isn't a lot of information to go on - but I'm wondering if >you've encountered this problem yet. I have seen no systematic problems under RedHat 7.3. As to whether I have seen your problem, I can't say since I don't have a good feel for what your problem may be. >I haven't been able to find much >on-line in terms of help in the email archives. Would it be possible to >discuss this over the phone? Yes. I have a meeting this morning at 10 am our time and a staff meeting at 1:30 pm our time. The first meeting is likely to take about an hour; the second meeting may take up to 2 hours. Perhaps it would be better for me to call you? If you will be around (not in and out), send me your phone number and I will try to call between my meetings today.
