The next step is to rebuild McIDAS from scratch. The only thing I can think of is that one or more McIDAS executables got damaged in the initial rewboot of aeolus, of some libraries got changes/updated, etc. I tried to rebuild McIDAS-X and -XCD yesterday evening, but the first package that needed configure stopped me in my tracks since it could not find a working copy of a C or Fortran compiler. The versions in /opt/SUNWspro/bin run enough to indicate their version, etc., but they will not compile code. Any ideas? Tom
