Hi HP, re: > I have started the whole procedure from scratch, starting with > downloading the distribution again yesterday Friday 6 June. OK. This means that you got the version that I updated a couple of days ago to included more/better support of imagery in HDF format! > Building > works fine (just over 10 minutes), but make install.all stops with an > error when doing links (see attached terminal output). The error shown from 'makelog' indicates that either the directory /home/mcidas/help is not writable by the user you were logged in as when you ran 'make install.mcx', or that a previous 'make install.mcx' had been run by a different user. It is most likely that the write permissions on the directory or file(s) do not allow the link (which is essentially like a write). I recommend that you check the ownership of the files under /home/mcidas to make sure that they are all owned by your 'mcidas' user. > I might have > overlooked this error earlier on :-o . Starting in the user account now > works fine. However, again IMGDISP displays desired image but with the > same message as earlier on: Unable to read from LW file SATANNOT. I would guess that the installation failed before it was able to link files like SATANNOT to the /home/mcidas/data directory. Again, the solution is to make sure that 'mcidas' owns all of its directories and all files in all directories. > CH just lost 1:0 to CZ in the first round of the European Soccer > Championship that takes place in CH and AT :-((( I saw that.
