OK, two things:

o if you are using the gcc/g77 combination, you should run:

  make install VENDOR=-g77

  This would _not_ cause *.k files to not exist, but it is necessary
  nonetheless.

o compilation output from the build is stored in the file 'makelog' in
  the mcidas2002/src directory.  You need to review the contents
  of 'makelog' to find out why the builds for wwlist.k and wxtlist.k
  (and other *.k files) failed.

>I have 146 *.k files, but I am missing wwlist.k and wxtlist.k, among 
>others. I didn't see any problem when they compiled.

One of the problems in the output that you see during the build process
is that link errors do not stop the make from continuing NOR are they
correctly reported.  This only occurs for the GNU compilers.  You
never see this problem with vendor compilers.

>I noticed that my

I am sure that the listing for 7.8 also had XCD built.  This would account
for 29 less executables when just building McIDAS-X (a 'make VENDOR=-g77'
results in just McIDAS-X being built; a 'make all VENDOR=-g77' results
in both McIDAS-X and McIDAS-XCD being built).  This does not account for
you only having 146 *.k files, however.  The correct number when building
both -X and -XCD is 220 (if I counted correctly).

These versions of gcc and g77 look good.  They exactly match the version
on one of our RedHat 7.3 systems.

>You nailed the first question, care to make it 2 for 2???

I would love to be able to say that I could devine what went wrong with
the build for all of the *.k files that did not build, but I will
need to see the build/link information in 'makelog' before being able
to figure that out.
