Hi Heather, re: building McIDAS-X on a new machine > Thanks for your help Tom! > > Turns out the issue was with my gcc compiler. Yum installed version 4.4, a > really old > version. I upgraded to version 4.8 and that solved the problem. Excellent! But, I am a little wary of the solution. Why? I am using gcc and gfortran v4.4.7 for my McIDAS development environment which is running in a CentOS 6.5 x86_64 virtual machine, and I am have not experienced the same problem as you. re: > By the way. I am trying to download the latest LDM and am unable to get to > the download > page. Do you know what is going on? This is strange because if one walks through our web site to the LDM download page, the eventual landing point is an FTP directory. That this would not work for you is unexpected, but it may have something to do with the security in-place at your site (ours is open, so the problem does not originate here). You may want to try FTPing directly: ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> anonymous <pass> address@hidden cd pub/ldm re: > Is the latest LDM that you were telling me about available now? Unfortunately, no. The reason is that we have run into a problem ingesting the new NOAAPort broadcast... the problem is not with the LDM or NOAAPort ingest, but, rather, with the Carrier/Noise (C/N) being marginally low. I will see if Steve is willing/able to release v6.12.6 today... re: > Thanks! No worries. I'm glad to hear that you are making progress on the installations on your new machines!
