I _really_ do not understand this!

The easiest thing is to grab the McIDAS-X v2021b tarball and try using it:

/home/yoksas/tmp/mcidas/v2021/mcidasx2021.tar.gz

The unpacking script, mcunpack, and INET, mcinet2021.sh, files have
not changed, so you should be able to simply:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd $MCSRC
make cobber

cd ~mcidas
-- copy the new distribution source tarball to here
mcunpack 2021

cd $MCSRC
make all
make install.all

Again, please let me know the results.
