Bummer! >1) i launched mcidas after modifying the .mcidasrc file to inclue -c MCGUI You can configure your session to start MCGUI without editing .mcidasrc. To do so, startup with: mcidas config and make sure to click on the start MCGUI radiobutton. If you like your settings, also make sure to click on the save settings to defaults file radiobutton at the bottom. While doing all of this, note that you can set use of compressed or uncompressed ADDE transfers through the GUI startup. >2) mcidas gui comes up fine >3) try to display image by clicking under display, imagery, GINIEAST > > i get : image data server unable to resolve this dataset. > >i get this for other datasets as well. > >what am i missing in setup? It is most likely that you have not setup DATALOCs for the various datasets. To do this, click on the button that sports the two computers one on top of the other (just to the right of the Zoom button). A widget will pop open that allows you to choose the server for the various datasets supported by the MCGUI. I recommend the following to start: AMRC - uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu CIMSS - papagayo.unl.edu GINICOMP - pscwx.plymouth.edu GINIEAST - atm.geo.nsf.gov GINIWEST - papagayo.unl.edu ME7 - io.sca.uqam.edu RTIMAGES - papagayo.unl.edu TOPO - local-data etc. Let me know if this doesn't get you past your first hurdle.
