Hi Heather,

OK.  I had no problems building under CentOS 6.4 when I was it before
upgrading to CentOS 6.5.

OK.  I just reviewed the makefile for v2009x and see that there is an
action to build mnmx.o from mnmx.for, so barring an error in building
mnmx.o, you should not be having a link problem.

Please take a look in ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src/makelog and see if there
was a problem in building mnmx.o.  Here is what a successful build of mnmx.o
looks like in my McIDAS build log:

OK.  As soon as we figure out why mnmx.o was not built and/or not added to
libmcidas.a, we will have a solution for this problem.

If this build attempt was on a completely new machine, I will guess that
the problem(s) you are running into can be surmounted by:

1) make 'mcidas' account

2) download McIDAS source file, 'mcunpack', and mcinet2009.sh

3) unpack the newly downloaded distribution:

   cd /home/mcidas

   MCINST_ROOT=/home/mcidas
   export MCINST_ROOT

   chmod +x mcunpack
   ./mcunpack mcidasx2009.tar.gz

4) make sure that your shell-specific environment file is setup
   with the needed defines for building McIDAS:

5) logoff and then log back on

6) (re) build

   cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
   make clobber

   make

   OR

   make

   make install

   OR

   make install.all

re:
> Thanks!

Please let me know if the above helped!

Cheers,

Tom
