Tony-
I've been poking around on wxbox this afternoon. Here are a couple
of things I've found:
1) I was able to run McIDAS with no problem as the user McIDAS, thus
I'm wondering what you meant when you said McIDAS never came up.
2) I see you are getting ready to build GEMPAK. I made a couple
of modifications:
- I changed the line in .cshrc to include the full path to the
Gemenviron file. (/usr/local/gempak/NAWIPS-5.4/Gemenviron).
Otherwise, you would get an error that it couldn't find the
file (unless you were in the correct directory).
- I also added the following before that line:
umask 002
#
# Exit if non-interactive.
#
if ($?0 || ! $?prompt) exit 0
so it would set the appropriate umask and it would not
source Gemenviron, if this wasn't an interactive session.
Without the latter, you'd get extraneous output from commands
like "which".
- I already downloaded the new Makeinc.x86 to the $NAWIPS/config
directory. It should be all set up for your configuration.
- I had to modify the Makefile in the $GARPHOME directory because
I found an error when trying to build on another machine. The
location of libf2c.a was hardcoded for /usr/lib but on your
system, it is in /usr/local/lib. I made a change so it would
use the location specified in Makeinc.x86 instead of having it
hardcoded.
- I downloaded a copy of the Perl script fort77 from our system
to /usr/local/bin. You will need this to compile under Solaris
X86 using gcc.
You should be all set to build GEMPAK at this point. To do so, you
should:
1) Log on as the user gempak.
2) Edit /usr/local/gempak/NAWIPS-5.4/Gemenviron. Delete the following
line:
setenv GEMDATA /shemp/gempak
This will then use the line above that one to set GEMDATA to be
/var/data/ldm/gempak Save the file and then:
3) get into the C Shell by typing csh at the command line. This will
source the Gemenviron file.
4) cd to $NAWIPS
5) Type:
make all > & make.out &
6) Watch the build progress by typing:
tail -40f make.out
If there are any errors or problems with the build, let me know and
I'll take a look.
Let us know what your problem with McIDAS is and if you need help
rectifying the problem.
