Hi Susan, re: > Hope it helps, since now there aren't any Notes and Warnings ! :-) > I'll dig through netCDF and see how that changes from the previous > instructions. So far looks doable. The fact of the matter is that since you will need to build McIDAS, and since netCDF 3.x is bundled with McIDAS, you should already have what you need for the netCDF. All you really need to do is to setup the environment variables that tell 'configure' where to find the netCDF stuff (include file and library). Since one has to setup environment variables to build Unidata McIDAS, one can simply follow the instructions on the McIDAS web page for setting up the 'mcidas' account: Unidata McIDAS HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/ Unidata McIDAS-X User's Guide http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/2006/users_guide/toc.html Installing McIDAS-X on Unix or Mac OS X Workstations http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/2006/users_guide/InstallingMcIDAS-XonUnixorMacOSXWorkstations.html#63755 Preparing the mcidas Account http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/2006/users_guide/PreparingthemcidasAccount.html#22841 If you follow the steps listed, your McIDAS distribution will build and install with no problems, and the necessary netCDF is part of the build/install. Given this, a lot of the environment variables that need to be set will be viewable in an 'env' listing done as the user 'mcidas'. The other ones that need to be set will follow the example settings in the ldm-mcidas web page. > thanks! No worries. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you run into problems.
