Well, ldm-mcidas-2004 was not supported on MacOS-X 10.4, so your ldm-mcidas build will fail at some point. I helped a user at San Francisco State build enough of the ldm-mcidas distribution to get a viable pnga2area decoder. In doing this I did _not_ install McIDAS. Rather, I setup the environment variables related to McIDAS (CPP_MCIDAS and LD_MCIDAS) to point to fictitions directories/files just to satisfy 'configure'. I then ran 'make' and let it fail for the routines that needed to link against the McIDAS library/use McIDAS include files. I seem to remember that the make failure occurs after pnga2area is built, so your objective can be fulfilled. I could login and get the decoder built for you if you like. To do this I would need your 'ldm' login information. Please let me know if you want/need this. > Thanks for your help. No worries. Last comment: the next version of ldm-mcidas is in progress now. It removes the McIDAS dependency for builds, and will be fully supported under MacOS-X (as will McIDAS-X v2007).
