[McIDAS #HJB-604725]: issue installing ADDE server CentOS 7.2

Hi Robert,

re:
> Just letting you know that McIDAS did build and install correctly this time.

Excellent!  I assume that things went smoothly (i.e., worked) after
you made sure to source the 'mcidas_env.(sh|csh)' file before
attempting to build.

OK, now we are in new territory...

Is xinetd installed?

I ask because xinetd has not been installed in a default OS
installation for some time.  Try installing it using 'yum':

<as 'root'>
yum install xinetd

and then rerunning the mcinet2016.sh script as you indicated above.

Comment:

- you realize that you only need to setup xinetd if you want the
  machine to serve data via ADDE remotely

  I am _not_ suggesting that you do not setup remote ADDE access.
  I just wanted to make sure you and I are on the same page.

Cheers,

Tom
