Hi Mark, re: > I downloaded and installed the binary for x86-64. Thank you. No worries. By the way, I was able to build ldm-mcidas-2008 on my CentOS 6.2 x86_64 VMware virtual machine (Windows 7 is the host OS). One hiccup I ran into was the version of cfortran.h included in ldm-mcidas-2008 does not recognize the CentOS 6.2 system. To get around this, I replaced the packages cfortran.h (which is located in ~/ldm-mcidas-6.8.1/src/port/cfortran) with the one that is included in the McIDAS v2009i distribution I just made available on Saturday evening (cfortran.h from that distribution is located in ~mcidas/mcidas2009/netcdf/fortran). I will be updating the ldm-mcidas package "soon" (timeframe not yet determined) to include the new cfortran.h file. Here are the environment variable definitions I used to build the ldm-mcidas package: Bash syntax: # For ldm-mcidas builds CC=gcc FC=gfortran CPP_MCIDAS='-I/home/mcidas/mcidas2009/src' LD_MCIDAS='-L/home/mcidas/lib -lmcidas' CPP_NETCDF='-I/home/mcidas/mcidas2009/netcdf/libsrc' LD_NETCDF='-L/home/mcidas/lib -lnetcdf' LD_MATH='-lm' LD_LDM='/home/ldm/lib/libldm.a /home/ldm/lib/libxml2.a' LD_FORTRAN='-static -lf2c' LD_X11='' export CC FC CPP_MCIDAS LD_MCIDAS CPP_NETCDF LD_NETCDF LD_MATH LD_LDM LD_FORTRAN LD_X11 Notes: - the LDM version I was linking against is v6.10.1; this is what required me to included the libxml2.a library in LD_LDM. Plus I specified libldm.a and libxml2.a so that the static versions of the libraries would be used in preference to the shared ones also built by LDM v6.10.x. - the './configure && make' step went smoothly, and the executables created seem to work correctly - the 'make install' step fails because of a mistake in the ldm-mcidas/src/decode Makefile... it should not try to build nldn2md for the install (lgt2md is a direct replacement for 'nldn2nd', and it can process both NLDN and USPLN lightning data). This gotcha will be corrected in the new ldm-mcidas distribution. I would not worry about building from source if I were you since you apparently have working binaries now. I just wanted to fulfil my promise to let you know how my build test went in my CentOS 6.2 x96_64 environment.
