Karthik,

This looks OK.

>/usr/local/bin/uname

This looks to be your problem.

Right.  First off, someone installed a different uname in /usr/local/bin.
To do so is questionable.  I now wonder what other standard applications
are being used in stead of the ones from Sun.

The thing that should be of help to you is the improper functioning of
the copy of uname that someone installed in /usr/local/bin.  I strongly
suggest that you change your PATH definition for the user 'mcidas' so that
/usr/bin comes before /usr/local/bin and then clobber and redo your 
McIDAS build:

<as 'mcidas'>

- change PATH in .cshrc if using the C shell or .profile for Bourne shell, etc.
- clobber the current build attempt:

cd ~mcidas/mcidsa2003/src
make clobber

- start the build from scratch

make all
make install.all
