Unidata archives all email inquiries regarding the LDM-McIDAS package. One of the quickest ways to solve problems you may be having is to search this archive and see if others have had the same or similar problems. Use the dialogue box to enter the keyword(s) that relate to the problem you are having.
For example, if you received the following message while make was trying to compile lwtoa3:
ld: Undefined symbol
You could search the archive with the keyword sequence: make lwtoa3. This would search all the messages and return a list of those that contained both the words make followed by lwtoa3.
Multiple keywords will cause records containing the phrase to be returned. Multiple keywords separated by commas and no spaces will cause records containing any of the keywords to be returned. Multiple keywords separated by semi-colons will cause records containing the keywords to be returned.
In this example, after reading through the messages that contained those the phrase make lwtoa3, you would most likely find that you need to build the McIDAS-X libraries before building the LDM-McIDAS decoders.
