We have been using the 4.2 compilers as well with no problems. >I upgraded our older SPARC machine (2.6) without problem using the same >source. All functions work. OK, they should on x86 as well. >Is my OS version the possible problem here? No. >Do you have any pointers to >suggest where I start looking at what is causing the problem? Not really, you need to send us more information on what your are seeing (i.e. the messages that are being emitted by the programs that are failing). >Any help is appreciated. Thanks. The other thing you should do is reissue the command that the Fkey menu is running from the McIDAS command line adding the DEV=GCC keyword sequence. This will turn on more verbose logging which will help us determine where the routine(s) is(are) bombing. >-- >Mel Taylor (address@hidden) >Collge of Science & Technology >Central Michigan University Tom Yoksas
