This is telling us that the McIDAS application mcimage did not get created
during the build.  What we have to find out now is why it did not 
compile/link.

It is made by the build process.

In the directory /home/mcidas/mcidas7.5/src is a log file of compiler/linker
output from the build.  This file, makelog, should contain the messages about
what went wrong in the mcimage compile/link.  You should look in this
file and send along the section on mcimage so I can help you figure out
what went wrong.

>I also saw in the support web page and neither I did not found anything

The problem is that the link failure for mcimage did not generate an error
that would cause the make to stop.  It appeared, therefore, that the build
finished fine when it really didn't.  When we find out what went wrong
with mcimage, we may find that other routines also did not build correctly.
We will ahve to take thes one at a time.

>Thank You very much.

Talk to you soon...
