The ~mcidas/data directory will not have any content on a new install
until the executables have been built AND installed. It is the
installation process that copies "data" files from the package
data directory (e.g., ~mcidas/mcidas2015/data) to the ~mcidas/data
directory. After this step, you should be able to log out and
then log back in and the error noted above should disappear.

OK.

As you can see, this listing looks like gibberish. I assume that
the actual content of your .bash_profile file looks like:
# McINST_ROOT and VENDOR conforming shell defines
# needed to bulid McIDAS
McINST_ROOT=$HOME
VENDOR=-gfortran
export McINST_ROOT VENDOR
# NOTE: uncomment the next two lines that set MySQL_ROOT if you
# want to build with MySQL support:
# - leave the value blank if MySQL is installed in a standard
# location
# - specify the value as the root directory of the MySQL
# installation if MySQL is not installed in a standard
# location
# MySQL_ROOT=TRUE
# export MySQL_ROOT
if [ -e $HOME/admin/mcidas_env.sh ]; then
. $HOME/admin/mcidas_env.sh
fi

Had the 'make install.all' step been completed before .bash_profile
was sourced?

Very good.
re:

Hmm... the error is that linking of executables from the package src
directory can not be made to ~mcidas/bin. I have _never_ seen this
before! The only thing I can think of is that 'mcidas' does not
have write permission in ~mcidas/bin. Can you verify that everything
in and under ~mcidas is owned by 'mcidas' and the group is also correct?
Cheers,
Tom
