Very good.  I assume that you are trying the build on an Ubuntu or Debian
Linux system?

re:

OK.  Just to remind you, a 'make' will build the McIDAS-X component
of Unidata McIDAS; it will not build the McIDAS-XCD component.

re:
> So I finally did the make install.all, but found this:

Running 'make install.all' is saying that you want to install
the McIDAS-X _and_ McIDAS-XCD components of the build.  By building
with 'make' (which is equivalent to 'make mcx') you only built
the McIDAS-X portion.  If you want to install the McIDAS-X portion,
you would run 'make install.mcxall'.  If you want to build the
XCD portion (decoders), you would run:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
make all

After the build finishes successfully, you would then run:

make install.all

re:
> I'm totally lost.

It sounds like you are almost there, so you are only a bit lost :-)

Question:

- what institution are you building McIDAS for?

  Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD is only to be used by .edu entities and by
  international universities where it would be used in by students
  for their degree(s).


Cheers,

Tom
