Hi Marianne,

>I hope you are fine.

I am well, thanks.  I hope the new year has been nice to you so far.

>My question for today is: have you ever tried to compile mcidas on Suse8.2?
>And if yes, what is your experience?

I have not tried on 8.2, but I did build McIDAS on a previous version.
Also, a fellow from the Netherlands who attended our fall series of
training workshops built successfully under Knopix, but I don't
remember the version number.  I wouldn't guess that there should be any
problem building the Unidata distribution under SuSe x.x since my
distribution supports the gcc/g77 compiler combination, but I am not
sure of what I can say for the SSEC distribution because of its use of
f2c.  By the way, I think that it is likely that SSEC will be
supporting g77 for builds in the next release.

>Thank you (it is Thursday, don't tell me you are out skiing ...)

It is Thursday, and I an _not_ going skiing.

Cheers,

Tom

re: building under SuSe
