It appears that you picked up the build as 'root' at the point it failed for 'mcidas'. If this is the case, I would say that all bets are off. It would be very interesting to see if a clean build by 'root' would run all of the way through to completion. Question: - is the HDF_4.2r3 distribution supposed to build cleanly on your AIX system Cheers, Tom **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
