[McIDAS #JRK-547142]: install mcidas2009 in a SUN Solaris10x86_64 machine

Hi Hsie,

I have been looking at your McIDAS setup on stratus, and I have a
a question:

It looks like your existing setup tries to use a runtime link approach
(like the LDM) to "point" at the version of McIDAS that you want to use.
For instance:

<as 'mcidas' on stratus>
cd ~mcidas
ls -alt
-rw-------   1 mcidas   unidata      966 Sep 22 11:53 .history
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mcidas   unidata     2899 Sep 22 11:49 .cshrc
-rw-rw-r--   1 mcidas   unidata      389 Sep 22 10:08 cshrc.solarisx86_64
drwxrwxr-x  21 mcidas   unidata     1024 Sep 22 09:50 .
lrwxrwxrwx   1 mcidas   unidata       11 Sep 22 09:50 solaris -> solaris2007
drwxr-xr-x  18 mcidas   unidata      512 Sep 22 09:38 mcidas2009
drwxrwxr-x   2 mcidas   unidata      512 Sep 22 09:37 admin
-rw-rw-r--   1 mcidas   unidata     1601 Sep 22 09:31 README
drwxrwxr-x  13 mcidas   unidata      512 Sep 22 09:27 solaris2009
drwx------   2 mcidas   unidata      512 Sep 21 14:53 .mctmp
-rw-------   1 mcidas   unidata        0 Sep 21 11:59 .mysql_history
dr-xr-xr-x   6 root     root           6 Sep 21 08:52 ..
lrwxrwxrwx   1 mcidas   unidata       11 May 13 17:14 bin -> solaris/bin
lrwxrwxrwx   1 mcidas   unidata       16 May 13 17:14 logs -> solaris/workdata
lrwxrwxrwx   1 mcidas   unidata        9 May 13 17:14 data -> /wrk/data
 ...

If you want to keep using this approach, I think a couple of changes are
needed:

- change the definition of 'mcidas_home' in ~mcidas/.cshrc:

  change:

  set mcidas_home = /home/mcidas/${OSTYPE}

  to:

  set version = 2009
  set mcidas_home = /home/mcidas/${OSTYPE}${version}

- resource the .cshrc settings so that McINST_ROOT is
  correctly defined

- clobber the current build of McIDAS v2009

  cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
  make clobber

- have 'make' create the needed output directory structure:

  make rootdirs

- rebuild the distribution from scratch

  make all

- when switching to the new distribution, you would have to
  change the runtime link:

  change:

  solaris -> solaris2007

  to:

  solaris -> solaris2009

Do you agree with my analysis?

Cheers,

Tom
