SOLOii installation and viewing/editing NEXRAD Level II data

[D LaPuma]

Hello All

I'm trying to get SOLOii installed on my Mac using either Fink (on the Mac side) or Ubuntu (on the Linux side- using Parallels Desktop). In both cases I'm running into problems during the install. I can get it to compile just fine, but when it goes to "Make" the binaries, I get a whole slough of errors. Is there anyone out there who has experience with SOLOii? Is it still the best program for editing NEXRAD data? So far it has only resulted in major headaches for me. :/

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

If only we could use GR2/GR2AE to view and edit SWP files!

Successfully getting SoloII to run from source is difficult, though I don't have any experience with doing so on the Mac side. My assumption is that you are having problems with missing libraries, however, since that seems to be the most common problem I run into when it comes to compiling and setting up SoloII (and WDSSII, etc.). Though I do have SoloII up and running on my 32-bit Ubuntu box, I'm just using a version that was compiled quite some time ago on another computer.

What specific problems are you having? You are using a 64-bit OS?
