Re: Compiling ncl/ncar graphics on OpenSolaris

Hi Richard,

This looks like an issue with HDF4 and not NCAR Graphics. What version of HDF4 did you install, and did you use the same compiler to build it?

Near line 401 in our version of the HDF "hproto.h" file, we have:

#if defined VMS || defined macintosh || defined MAC || defined SYMANTEC_C || defined MIPSEL || defined NEXT || defined CONVEX || defined IBM6000 || defined SUN || defined IRIX
    HDFPUBLIC extern char *HDstrdup
                (const char *s);

#endif

I wonder if you try a test and remove the "|| defined SUN" from this line, and type "make" in the /export/home/richard/src/ncarg/ncl_ncarg-5.2.1/ncarview/src/lib/libncarg_ras directory, does it work?

You might want to check with the HDF4 folks about this hproto.h file, and what they recommend to get it to work on an OpenSolaris system.
