This seems to be the exact same problem you ran into when building
the v2003 version of McIDAS: there is a bug in the Slackware 9 version
of make that causes it to _not_ add all of the object files it is
supposed to in ~mcidas/mcidas2004/src/libsdi.a.
If this, in fact, the problem, the solution would be:
<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~/mcidas2004/src
touch calb11.o msgadir.o msgaget.o msgtadir2.o msgtaget2.o swap2.o BitUtil.o
Bk11Data.o crc16.o GVAR.o m0tenoff.o m0twelveoff.o MSAT.o NCDF.o giniutil.o
nexrutil.o POES.o SDIConv.o SDIUtil.o servutil.o TIP.o
make libsdi.a
After remaking libsdi.a, the build proceeded normally:
make mcx <- or whatever 'make' invocation you had originally

If my guess is correct, I won't need to see this.

I used 'tucker' as the search key in our online inquiry search and came
up with a couple of links that were pertinent:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/getfile?file=/content/support/help/MailArchives/mcidas/msg02606.html
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/getfile?file=/content/support/help/MailArchives/mcidas/msg02427.html
I note that another exchange with Steve Ochani showed that he was able
to get an updated 'make' for his Linux distribution, SuSE 9.0.
>Any help on this would be appreciated.
Try the what I suggest above and let me know the results.
>Thanks.
No worries.
Cheers,
Tom

Tom,
I "touched" the object files as you suggested and rebuild libsdi.a but the
make process fails at the same point it did before. I did recall the
problem with libsdi.a but this doesn't quite match the same problem
(although I wouldn't be surprised to find that it is a similar problem).
I downloaded the previous version of make (3.79.1) from gnu.org and
compiled it for the mcidas user's account. Mcidas seems to have built
without any errors this time. I'll run the tests tomorrow (when I'm not
on dialup) to see if the build is working correctly.
