[McIDAS #YQS-565180]: McIDAS-x and HDF installation issues....

Hi James,

Sorry I missed your call.  Email is better anyway since there is a "paper 
trail" that
can be used for others that might run into similar situations...

OK.  This shows that the HDF package included was never tested for your 
particular
platform.  This is an HDF thing, not a McIDAS thing (not that it matters to you 
:-)

Please give me some specifics about:

- your machine (make, model, processor type, etc.)
- operating system (version)
- C compiler (version)

so I can do some investigations into (what it might take to) support of HDF4 
for your
platform.

The problem you reported above is definitely in the HDF package, so all bets are
off at this point.

Cheers,

Tom
