[ncl-install] what happened to idt?

[Mary Haley]

I emailed Dave offline with a suggested solution, and it worked for
him. Here it is:

I googled this error, and found a suggestion to add
"-D_DARWIN_C_SOURCE" to the compile line. Apparently it's a bug on the
Mac side that needs to be fixed.

Try this:

   cd $NCARG/ncarview/src/bin/idt
   [Edit "Makefile"]

Where you see "-D__UNIXOS2__", add "-D_DARWIN_C_SOURCE" to the end of
that line

    [Save "Makefile"]
    make all install

The better thing to do is add this option to the $NCARG/config/Darwin
file where you see "__UNIXOS2__". That way it will make it into
every Makefile in the NCL source tree.  (You will need to rerun
"make Everything" to compile from scratch.)
