I checked into this after seeing your note and see that the problem is
with the v2002 distribution makefile.  I moved the source code for the
McIDAS application MC (mc.pgm) into the section of routines that
doesn't get built.  The problem is that the compositing routine
GOESCOMP needs MC to complete the composite, so it needs that
executable.

The solution is actually a minor change in the McIDAS makefile.  This
change will be included in the McIDAS addendum that I will be releasing
soon.

I tried to logon to waldo to making the change for you now, but I was
unable to connect using telnet or rlogin (which I see are disabled), or
ssh.  If you give me access to waldo, I will make the change for you,
and, if you are willing upgrade your LDM to the latest Unidata
release.
