Hi Jim,

Progress, I love it :-)

No, you have to install the X develoopment stuff on your machine.

The latest error is being caused by the lack of an X development
installation on your machine.  Since this is not included as part
of the McIDAS distribution, you will need to install it as 'root'.

Here is the list of things I needed to install on my Ubuntu
v14.04 LTS machine:

For Ubuntu 14.04

apt-get update

Development
--------------------------------------
gcc            - already installed
gfortran       - apt-get install gfortran
gcc-c++        - g++ already installed
byacc          - bison already installed
flex           - flex already installed
libX11-dev
libXt-dev
libXext-dev

ncurses         - libncurses5 already installed
ncurses-devel   - apt-get install libncurses5-dev

kernel-devel
kernel-headers

Fonts
--------------------------------------
xorg-x11-fonts-misc     <- for mctext
xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi   <- for McGUI
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi    <- for McGUI

What you may need to install depends on what is already installed on
your machine.

You should be able to install the packages above and continue the build
where it left off.  At worst, you may need to restart the build from
the beginning:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas2018/src
make clobber
make mcx
make install.mcx

Cheers,

Tom
