No, you have to install the X develoopment stuff on your machine. re: > I'll try the new makefile but on the chance that the above is an > independent error, I'll include the makelog from this last run. The latest error is being caused by the lack of an X development installation on your machine. Since this is not included as part of the McIDAS distribution, you will need to install it as 'root'. Here is the list of things I needed to install on my Ubuntu v14.04 LTS machine: For Ubuntu 14.04 apt-get update Development -------------------------------------- gcc - already installed gfortran - apt-get install gfortran gcc-c++ - g++ already installed byacc - bison already installed flex - flex already installed libX11-dev libXt-dev libXext-dev ncurses - libncurses5 already installed ncurses-devel - apt-get install libncurses5-dev kernel-devel kernel-headers Fonts -------------------------------------- xorg-x11-fonts-misc <- for mctext xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi <- for McGUI xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi <- for McGUI What you may need to install depends on what is already installed on your machine. You should be able to install the packages above and continue the build where it left off. At worst, you may need to restart the build from the beginning: <as 'mcidas'> cd ~mcidas/mcidas2018/src make clobber make mcx make install.mcx Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
