Hi Jim,

This is a quick note to see if you have revisited the development environment
issue on your AIX cluster.  As a reminder, my previous email was:

> Hi Jim,
> 
> After receiving your note about the 'mcidas' account being locked out due to

> 
> I made some small changes:
> 
> <as 'mcidas'>
> cd ~mcidas
> mv .cshrc cshrc.old
> -- create a new .cshrc file with the contents recommended in the page listed 
> above
> 
> I then proceeded to try and build McIDAS from scratch:
> 
> -- logoff and then log back on to force use of the newly created .cshrc file
> cd ~mcidas/mcidas2007/src
> make clobber
> make all

> I believe that I got significantly further this time, but still not to the

Cheers,

Tom
