[McIDAS #TTI-427756]: McIDAS linking problems on Mac OS X: subroutine/symbol cblank in plotsub.for undefined

Hi David,

Excellent!  I assume you meant you changed HAVE_BSDGETTIMEOFDAY in
tclConfig.h, not .sh.

By the way, I believe that the other way that this could be handled
is by modifying the ccopts= flag in mccomp.sh to include setting
of HAVE_BSDGETTIMEOFDAY to zero (-DHAVE_BSDGETTIMEOFDAY=0); clobbering
the McIDAS build up to that point (make clobber); and then starting
the build anew (make mcx).

Yes, this is weird.

re:

Well, it is not a waste of my time since I will have to address
the issue in new releases.

re:
> I get a working complilation.

Excellent.

re:

Hmm... this is weird and unexpected.  Can you provide more information?

re:
> command line seems to work fine, which will probably be all I need,

Very good.

re:

> any ideas?

Troubleshooting of the 'working version of tk.tcl' issue is the next order
of business.

re:
> Thanks again so much for all your help!!!

No worries.  Kudos to you for diving into the Tcl code!

Cheers,

Tom
