I am not sure why the build did not go smoothly given that this is an operating system that SSEC builds on routinely. Given that the problem comes in when building the zlib portion of the distribution, and given that for some unknown reason 'cc' is trying to be used in that portion of the build, I would suggest that you work around the problem by creating a link called 'cc' to 'gcc' in a directory that is before /usr/ucb in the PATH of your 'mcidas' user. I would then clobber the previous build attempt and start from scratch: <as 'mcidas'> mkdir ~mcidas/tmp cd ~mcidas/tmp ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc cc setenv PATH ~mcidas/tmp:$PATH cd ~mcidas/mcidas2003/src make clobber make all VENDOR=-g77 Please let me know if this works for you.
