Hi Gilbert,

Contrats.

I will try to carve out a bit of time later today to take a look.
My experience with these sorts of thins is that the problem lies
in the definition of an environment variable.

While we are discussing McIDAS, I would encourage you to upgrade to
the v2004 release now.  Do you want me to get the ball rolling?

Cheers,

Tom

If you can, go for it! BTW, I installed a new kernel with Fedora Core 1,
but I don't think that is the problem.

Also, since it is being sunset on September 13, how is FC2 coming along?
