The recommended solution is to follow the environment setup directions
in the Unidata McIDAS-X User's Guide:

Unidata HomePage
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu

  Software -> McIDAS
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas

    Documentation and Training
    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/#documentation

      McIDAS user's guide
      http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/current/users_guide/toc.html

Chapter 1 - Installing and Configuring McIDAS-X
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/current/users_guide/InstallingandConfiguringMcIDAS-X.html

  Installing McIDAS-X on Unix or Mac OS X Workstations
  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/current/users_guide/InstallingMcIDAS-XonUnixorMacOSXWorkstations.html

    Preparing the mcidas Account
    
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/current/users_guide/PreparingthemcidasAccount.html

The key part included in the 'Preparing the mcidas Account' page is the
instruction for setting the environment variables for the McIDAS build.
For Bash shell users, this is essentially.  For instance

<while logged in as 'mcidas'>

-- edit the .bash_profile (or .bashrc or .cshrc for Cshell users) file
   and add the following defines:

   Remove any/all McIDAS-related definitions from the file

   Add the following to the file:

# McINST_ROOT and VENDOR conforming shell defines
# needed to bulid McIDAS
McINST_ROOT=$HOME
VENDOR=-gfortran
export McINST_ROOT VENDOR

# NOTE: uncomment the next two lines that set MySQL_ROOT if you
#       want to build with MySQL support:
#       - leave the value blank if MySQL is installed in a standard
#         location
#       - specify the value as the root directory of the MySQL
#         installation if MySQL is not installed in a standard
#         location
# MySQL_ROOT=TRUE
# export MySQL_ROOT

if [ -e $HOME/admin/mcidas_env.sh ]; then
  . $HOME/admin/mcidas_env.sh
fi

Next, if it hasn't already been done, unpack the McIDAS-X source distribution:

cd ~mcidas
-- download the Unidata McIDAS-X distribution source file,
   and the 'mcunpack' and 'mcinet2014.sh' scripts
chmod +x mcunpack
export McINST_ROOT=$HOME
./mcunpack

Now you need to "activate" the code added to .bash_profile (or .bashrc, or 
.cshrc, etc.).
The simplest thing is for the 'mcidas' user to simply logs off and then log 
back on.

At this point, it would be best to do a clean build of McIDAS-X, -XCD, -XRD:

cd ~/mcidas2014/src
make clobber

-- NB: return 'makefile' to the state it was before your modification!!!

make all xrd
make install.all install.xrd

The good thing about configuring the environment in the 'mcidas' account
is that you should never have to modify it again, and the McIDAS-X
executables should have been built correctly.

Cheers,

Tom
