There is no need to mess with source code. The error you are seeing is in the build of the Fortran 90 interface for netCDF. The "solution" I came up with when I ran into this problem was to simply "tell" configure to not have the F90 interface built. What you need to do is: <login as 'mcidas'> cd mcidas2002/src make clobber Next, define Unix environment variables to use the Sun Forte compilers but not build the C++ or F90 interfaces (they are not used by McIDAS anyway): C-shell syntax: # Defines for netCDF building with Sun compilers Forte 7 setenv CC cc setenv CPPFLAGS -DNDEBUG setenv CFLAGS -O setenv FC f77 setenv FFLAGS -O setenv F90 setenv CXX >If it IS a compiler problem, it may be helpful for others who may want to use >SunOne to know of the problem. I will be updating my web pages to reflect this as soon as I can get my v2002b addendum ready for release (imminent). >Thanks!
