Bill,

re: 7.6 tests were actually using some if not all of 7.402

We'll worry about the testing after we get mcimage going.

The output of the mcimage link from your ~mcidas/mcidas7.6/src/makelog
shows what we expected: a library search is failing:

This appears to be related to X and shared memory.  I did not have time
on Saturday to look on my AIX 4.3 system to see which library was
not being searched, and I will not be able to do so today until about
3 pm our time (I am at home working on my cedar shake roof).  I searched
the SSEC web pages on installing 7.6 to see if there was something I
missed in extra configuration steps for AIX (e.g. special directories
needed for your LPATH), but I did not see anything obvious.  I will
do a complete search of the AIX libraries this afternoon to see what
library the XShm... libraries are contained in.
