On Sun Solaris SPARC 5.6 system: IMGCOPY IMGCOPY GMS/GMGLOB05I2 MYDATA/IMAGES.1234 SIZE=ALL Beginning Image Data transfer, bytes= 4938136 Transferring AREA data outbound, bytes= 4938216 IMGCOPY: GMS/GMGLOB05I2.6 copied to MYDATA/IMAGES.1234 IMGCOPY: done IMGDISP MYDATA/IMAGES.1234 LATLON=-23 -134 EU=IMAGE REFRESH='EG;MAP SAT' Beginning Image Data transfer, bytes= 579624 IMGDISP: loaded frame 1 EG;MAP SAT IMGDISP: done EU: Restoring IMAGE.ET to frame(s)= 1 EU: Done Erased graphic frame(s) 1-1 MAP: Completed frame 1 On RedHat 7.1 Linux: IMGDISP MYDATA/IMAGES.1234 LATLON=-23 -134 EU=IMAGE REFRESH='EG;MAP SAT' IMGDISP: The requested Earth location is not contained in the image IMGDISP: done IMGDISP failed, RC=2 Interestingly, the IMGDISP of the exact same image does work on Solaris x86 5.8: IMGDISP MYDATA/IMAGES.1234 LATLON=-23 -134 EU=IMAGE REFRESH='EG;MAP SAT' Beginning Image Data transfer, bytes= 579624 IMGDISP: loaded frame 1 EG;MAP SAT IMGDISP: done EU: Restoring IMAGE.ET to frame(s)= 1 EU: Done Erased graphic frame(s) 1-1 MAP: Completed frame 1 This confirms the problem we saw during the workshop is a Linux only one! The distribution of McIDAS-X I was running, v2002a, was built using gcc/g77 on both Solaris SPARC and Linux, but it was built using Sun compilers on x86. So, the problem may or may not be related to Linux. It may be related to the version of g77 being used on our Linux platforms. This one scares me!
