Re: Install Error

Given the location (end of line) of the error, is it possible that Kevin is building on a Linux/Unix system and that this file has a DOS-like ending?

my first several lines from ViewManager.java are:

So I am still unsure of what my issue is.

Hello,
I had to recompile my idv and came across the same errors that I reported back in May. Specifically, many lines similar to the following:

Hi Kevin,
It looks like somehow the source code in that file got corrupted. From the src jar on the ftp site we have: 

harpo.unidata.ucar.edu: more ViewDescriptor.java

Why don't you try and download it and build again?
