Thanks for finding and reporting this problem! As we discussed curing our
Meet this afternoon, I have updated code in two files to fix the problem
encountered when starting v2021 in a clean installation (i.e., where
McIDAS-X has never been run previously).
The files with fixes that are attached are:
mcstart.gui
makefile
Here is the most straightforward way to update your v2021 installation:
<as 'mcidas'>
cd $MCSRC
make clobber
-- copy the attached mcstart.gui to the ~mcidas/mcidas2021/unidata/src directory
-- copy the attached makefile to the $MCSRC (~mcidas/mcidas2021/src) directory
-- in the $MCSRC (~mcidas/mcidas2021/src) directory rename mcidas.sh to
mcidasx.sh
-- then from the $MCSRC directory run:
make all
make install.all
Please let me know the results of starting McIDAS after doing these steps.
Cheers,
Tom
