Hi Bob, re: > Was wondering if you know if anyone has compile McIDAS2006 to > run under SUSE 10 (running on a 64 bit SGI)? SuSE 10 - yes. EUMETSAT successfully built Unidata McIDAS (not SSEC's distribution) on SuSE 10; this required a slight modification to the version of mccomp.sh that is included in the Unidata McIDAS distribution SuSE 10 on 64-bit SGI - no > If so, are updated installations scripts available for this? Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD does not use the installation script approach favored by SSEC. Instead, Unidata users: - set needed environment variables in the 'mcidas' account - unpack the Unidata McIDAS-X distribution as 'mcidas' - CD to the ~mcidas/mcidas2006/src directory - run 'make mcx' to build McIDAS-X or 'make all' to build McIDAS-X and then McIDAS-XCD - run 'make install' to install McIDAS-X or 'make install.all' to install McIDAS-X and then McIDAS-XCD > Thanks! No worries. > > Cheers, Tom **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
