The system administrator or person who installs McIDAS-X will use these installation instructions.
The UPC builds and tests McIDAS-X using vendor-supplied compilers for all of the platforms it supports. The gcc/g77 compiler combination should work on all supported platforms.
Unidata McIDAS-X and -XCD have been successfully built at the UPC on the platforms in the table that follows. McIDAS-XCD has been thoroughly tested at the UPC on two of these platforms, Sun Solaris SPARC and Fedora Core 3,4 Linux.
| Vendor | Operating System(s) | Compilers |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | MacOS-X 8.1.0 (Darwin) | g77, gcc |
| Compaq | Tru64 UNIX 5.1 2650 | Vendor f77, cc gcc, g77(4) |
| FreeBSD Project | FreeBSD 4.10(5) | gcc, f77(3) |
| Hewlett Packard | HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11(2) | Vendor f77, cc gcc, g77(4) |
| IBM(1) | AIX 5.1 | Vendor f77, cc gcc, g77(4) |
| RedHat | Fedora Core 3,4(1) | gcc, g77(4) |
| Silicon Graphics | IRIX64 6.5 | Vendor f77, cc gcc,g77(4) |
| Sun | Solaris x86 2.[789] | Vendor f77, cc; Versions SC5.0+
gcc, g77(4) |
| Sun(1) | Solaris SPARC 2.[6-9] | Vendor f77, cc; Versions WS7+ gcc, g77(4) |
1. We believe that Unidata McIDAS-X will build and run successfully under AIX 4.[23], RedHat Linux 8,9, Enterprise WS 3,4, Fedora Core 1,2, and Solaris 5.[45] but we do not have a way of testing this.
2. SSEC tests McIDAS-X on HP-UX 11.11. Since the UPC does not have a 11.11 machine that can be used for testing, we defer to SSEC's judgement of its suitability. Also, our use of HP-UX has diminished over the past two years.
3. cc under FreeBSD is a link to GNU gcc; f77 is GNU g77 but there is no link identifying this fact.
4. Use of GNU gcc and g77 is the only non-vendor compiler combination supported.
5. We have made various attempts at building on FreeBSD 5.[23] in the past with varying success. We currently do not have a 5.x machine in-house, so we can not comment on whether McIDAS will build or run successfully on it.
NOTE: On Linux systems, we recommend that you use the GNOME desktop environment. It is known that the KDE desktop will not display the McIDAS-X image window correctly.
The McIDAS-X installation consists of eight broad tasks:
