The most recent addenda for Unidata McIDAS-X assume that one is updating
from a Unidata McIDAS-X version in which bzip2 support is available
(bzip2 is used for the newer NEXRAD Level III and TDWR radar products).

Question:

- what version of Unidata McIDAS are you trying to upgrade?

The simplest thing for you to do at this point is: download, unpack,
and build the full Unidata McIDAS-X v2009 distribution:

<as 'mcidas'>

cd ~mcidas

-- define the enviornment variable McINST_ROOT to be the HOME directory
   of user 'mcidas'
-- download Unidata McIDAS v2009 (mcidasx2009.tar.gz) and the unpacker
   (mcunpack) from the Unidata website to the $HOME directory of user
   'mcidas'
-- unpack and build the new distriubtion:

   chmod +x mcunpack

   ./mcunpack

   cd ~/mcidas2009/src
   make clobber
   make
   make install.mcxall

Cheers,

Tom
