List of unix nodes in /etc/ghosts
   solaris:     taurus orion
   i686-Linux:  tern petrel...
   alpha-Linux: loki tyr
   alpha-OSF1:  saturn mercury

Note: you probably have to define LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
        [MDSPLUS_SRC]/mdsplus/lib
   in order to do a successful "make".  This can be done
   either explicitly or by :
      > setup nstx    # or "setup mdsplus"
      > redefine_mdsplus [MDSPLUS_SRC]/mdsplus

         -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

To run "./configure" for mdsplus on unix:

solaris> setenv CC gcc
         setenv MAKE gmake
         setenv MOTIFHOME  /opt/motif/scomd12s
         setenv UILPATH  $MOTIFHOME/bin/
         ./configure --prefix=/p/nstxusr1/local/$BIN_SPEC/staging_mdsplus  \
           --exec_prefix='${prefix}' \
           --x-libraries="$MOTIFHOME/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib" \
           --x-includes=$MOTIFHOME/include

          See note below about copying *.uid and *_gen.[hc]

   osf1> setenv UILPATH  /usr/bin/X11/uil
         setenv MAKE  gmake
         ./configure --prefix=/p/nstxusr1/local/$BIN_SPEC/staging_mdsplus  \
           --exec_prefix='${prefix}' \
           --x-libraries=/usr/lib  \
           --x-includes=/usr/include

  linux> ./configure --prefix=/p/nstxusr1/local/$BIN_SPEC/staging_mdsplus  \
           --exec_prefix='${prefix}'

    On other machines, may not be necessary to include explicit
    specification for "MOTIFHOME".

    Solaris notes:
    -------------
      o setenv UILPATH  $MOTIFHOME/bin

      o For running on Solaris, UIDPATH is required.  Other nodes seem
        to use XAPPLRESDIR as parent of "uid" subdirectory.

      o As of 25-Feb-2003, solaris fails to correctly make
        gen_device/  mitdevices/  and  uid/.
        From a Linux (or other) build, copy necessary files:
        (pretend that MDSPLUS_LINUX and MDSPLUS_DIR (solaris) are defined)
          > cd $MDSPLUS_LINUX
          > tar cf - mitdevices/*_gen.[hc] uid/*.uid |  \
				(cd $MDSPLUS_DIR ; tar xvf -)

    Linux notes:
    -----------
      o alpha-Linux: idl "bin" is bin/bin.linux.alpha

Files used by "configure":
   configure.cache :  (created if doesn't already exist) results of
          various tests, showing what's available on system.
          Explicitly specified by  ./configure --cache-file=[filename]

   configure.status:  (created if doesn't already exist) contains all
          switches specified in the original "configure" run.
          DELETE this if you want to start fresh.
