Hi Jim, re: > We are compiling McIDAS on a IBM 9118-575 (Power5+, 8 core 16GB) running AIX > 5.3.0.0 running xl-C (v8.0) and xl-F (v10.1). OK. Thanks for the info. > Below is what I sent to the HDF bug team. I attempted to build HDF 4.2r2 > and got the same error. I see there are precompiled (shudder) binaries for > AIX 5.3, but it seems like this is a problem with autoconf or the .ac file > not processing the .h file correctly. I agree. The section of the include file that is being used seems incomplete. > Anyway, let me know what you think. > > Jim I have only one idea: try building with GNU compilers, not IBM's. Building with gcc/g77 should be easy enough: simply follow the example for the shell you are using (e.g., C Shell, BASH, etc.) in: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/current/users_guide/PreparingthemcidasAccount.html Cheers, Tom **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
