[McIDAS #WRY-275628]: Installing McIDAS-X without ADDE

Hi Kwan,

Thanks for including the makelog and .cshrc files and a listing of the 
environment
in place when the error occurred...

The failure lines in makelog (two instances of the same thing):

ar libz.a adler32.o compress.o crc32.o gzio.o uncompr.o deflate.o trees.o 
zutil.o inf
late.o infblock.o inftrees.o infcodes.o infutil.o inffast.o 
ar: illegal option -- z

coupled with environment variables that probably should not be set for
a McIDAS build:

AR=ar
 ...
ARFLAGS=crv

suggest that there may be conflicting environment variable definitions
in-scope when the build was attempted.  To be sure of this assumption,
please send me the output of:

uname -a

which ar

cat ~/mcidas2009/zlib/Makefile

Cheers,

Tom
