To build with that configuration on x86, you will need an $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.x86 configuration that follows the Makeinc.linus configuration and defines -DLINUX (which uses the double underscores for f2c). We did sucessfully build with gcc and f2c on Solaris x86, but there is a gcc bug in the math routines in out glibc on Solaris that some of the grid routines find. I need to retest this with updated gcc and libraries. I'll send you the configuration for building when I get into the office tomorrow. Alternatively, you can use the binary distribution and simply place the libf77.so and libsunmath.so from the ftp directory into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Steve Chiswell
