VICAR build issues

[Bob Deen]

Hey all...

A couple sites have reported some build issues.  I'm not super surprised, as this is our first release!  We'll fix these in the next release, but in the meantime, here are some tips:

* If you have rm, mv, cp etc aliased with -i (to ask before overwriting something), unalias them for the build.

* If you have the shell variable noclobber set, unset it ("unset noclobber").

* Many parts of the build expect to see $V2TOP/../external pointing at the external directory.  If necessary, create a softlink that points to the external directory (so that when you do "ls $V2TOP/../external" you get JAI, JAI_ImageIO, commons-vfs, etc.

* Some of the tarball names do not match the documentation.  Rename as needed.

* Comment out (with #) the PDS4 lines in:  $V2TOP/java/jpl/mipl/io/plugins/javax.imageio.spi.ImageReaderSpi (and ImageWriterSpi).  We plan to include the PDS4 reader/writer when it is ready, but it is still in development.

I hope that helps.  Please feel free to contact us with issues.
