So do u thing i should try get GNU-c instead? Since version 7.5 of McIDAS was not setup to be built using gcc, this would likely expose a number of problems that have been addressed in the 7.6 version of McIDAS. I am working on 7.6 right in hopes that I can release it by the end of July. I will be using 7.6 in the upcoming McIDAS workshop that will be held at the very beginning of August. I think that your options are: o somehow get the CD for your SGI and reinstall the compilers o get gcc/f2c installed and wait for 7.6 and hope that there is nothing else amiss on your machine I think that it would be wise for you to try to get the CD for the machine just in case. SGI may be sympathetic to your plight, so I would recommend giving your rep. a call. re: setup for global .cshrc file included in all users' environment >i will do that on the offical machine. OK. re: login >sure, if you be kind enough, login as mcidas and password .... Again, this >is a test machine, nothing to worry about. I found that not only is the installation of the C compiler not complete, but there is no Fortran compiler to be found. So, even if the configure step for the Tcl/Tk component of the distribution had not bombed out, your build would have failed when the Fortran compilations were started. Tom
