Hi Robert, re: > I am getting an error compiling McIDAS 2009 on Soalris 10 Update > 8 using Sun Studio 12 Update 1.

I just worked with another site to find and fix a bug in the ADDE TEXT serving (wtxgserv) on this platform, and routinely work with CU/CIRES on their Solaris 10 x86_64 installation of McIDAS, and neither site had any problems with the Tcl/Tk portion of the build. Can you send me the contents of your shell configuration file (e.g., .cshrc for C Shell, etc.)? I want to verify that you are reading the ~mcidas/admin/mcidas_env.(sh|csh) configuration file to set the environment variables needed to perform a McIDAS build successfully.
