Hmm...  You are correct; I can not find a 'cblank' entry point anywhere in 
libmcidas.a.
This is bewildering given that advdisp.k links correctly under Linux.

re:

The following should get you going until I release the Unidata McIDAS addendum 
(update)
that I have been working on:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~/mcidas2009/src

-- edit makefile and comment out the lines that reference advdisp:

approx. line 7065:

change:

                       advdisp.pgm     \

to:

#                       advdisp.pgm     \

approx. lines 7108:

change:

advdisp.k              : advdisp.o $(LIBDEPS)
                       @$(L) -o $@ $(main_o) advdisp.o $(LIBARGS)

to:

#advdisp.k              : advdisp.o $(LIBDEPS)
#                       @$(L) -o $@ $(main_o) advdisp.o $(LIBARGS)

- restart your build:

make

OR

make mcx

re:
> Many thanks!!!

No worries.  Sorry for the hassle!

Cheers,

Tom
