OK.

It looks like one of the environment variables that should be set
by reading definitions from ~mcidas/admin/mcidas_env.csh (or .sh
for Bash) is incorrect.  I say this because the compile line
is odd/incorrect:

gcc -c intel -O -I. ...

I'll take a look.

Hmm...  I just logged on and see that the environment variables look OK.
So, I CDed to ~mcidas/mcidas2006/src and setup to a fresh build:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas2006/src
make clobber
make

The build stopped again, but this time the reason was obvious:

...
g77 -c -O -Wuninitialized -fno-automatic -ff90-intrinsics-hide -O -I. 
-I../netcdf/libsrc -I../hdf/hdf/src -I../hdf/mfhdf/libsrc -I../jpeg -I../zlib 
-I../tiff/libtiff -I../libgeotiff convdlmf.f
./mccomp: line 1226: g77: command not found
compile convdlmf.f:             FAILED

The compiler 'g77' was not found in the PATH defined for 'mcidas':

www-niu Mci-12$ which g77
g77: Command not found.

www-niu Mci-13$ locate g77
/usr/share/vim/vim70/compiler/fortran_g77.vim

Since the the item found by locate is not a compiler, it looks like
your development environment is not quite correct.  You should install
'g77' from an RPM and then try the build again.  Please note that
it is possible that you are missing some other things that will be
needed for the build (e.g., X windows development, etc.).

Cheers,

Tom
