Dave,
I took the liberty of logging onto your machines this morning to check out
the status of McIDAS-X. I see that you have updated snowball to SunOS 2.7
and that you apparently were successful in doing some tests on McIDAS (?)
Since I had relinked the 7.604 distribution on your 2.6 system during
the many tests I ran, I felt that it was necessary to relink for 2.7:
<login as 'mcidas'>
cd mcidas7.6/src
touch *.o
make all
After verifying that the newly linked executables looked appropriate for
2.7:
ldd df.k
libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1
libF77.so.4 => /software/SUNWspro/lib/libF77.so.4
libM77.so.2 => /software/SUNWspro/lib/libM77.so.2
libsunmath.so.1 => /software/SUNWspro/lib/libsunmath.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
(executables built on 2.7 will show use of /usr/lib/libgen.so.1; ones built
on 2.6 won't)
I decided to do some of the McIDAS checkout tests that were failing
previously. Before getting to this, however, I did the following
on snowball:
cd
rm .mctmp (was a link to /tmp/mctmp)
After that, I started through the new build check out tests on twister:
setenv MCDATA /software/mcidas/mcidas7.6/data
setenv MCPATH ${MCDATA}:/software/mcidas/mcidas7.6/src
setenv PATH /software/mcidas/mcidas7.6/src:$PATH
cd /software/mcidas/mcidas7.6/data

Things are looking good!
Then I ran code that was explicitly failing before:
dsserve.k ADD TOPO/CONF AREA 9011 9011 \"North America \(Conformal\)
Group/Descriptor Type Format & Range RT Comment
------------------------ ----- ------------------ -- --------------------
TOPO/CONF IMAGE AREA 9011-9011 North America (Conformal)
dsserve.k: done
(NOTE '"', '(', and ')' are escaped to avoid interpretation by the shell)
This demonstrates that McIDAS is now able to write files that are on
a file system NFS mounted from snowball. Looks like the OS upgrade
got rid of the demons left over from the breakin you had last fall!
Things are really looking up now. I believe that you can go ahead and
install McIDAS with assurances that the code will now run correctly
on twister. Since I realize that this problem has put you into a serious
hole wrt time, please let me know if you need help with the remaining
configuration.

Tom,
Thanks for all your help. I just tested and install McIDAS successfully,
and the configuration seemed to go well. No more weird problems at least!
