No problem.

This appears as though one of the routines needed in the remap was not
successfully built.  I recommend CDing to the ~mcidas/bin directory and
doing a long list looking for zero-length files.  When you find one (or
more), you will need to remake the executable and re-"install" it:

cd ~mcidas/bin
ls -alt | more
<find the modules that are zero-length>
cd ~mcidas/mcidas7.7/src
rm <list of modules that were zero-length in the ~mcidas/bin directory>
make <list of modules that were zero-length in the ~mcidas/bin directory>
ln <list of modules that were zero-length in the ~mcidas/bin directory> ~/bin

>Seems pretty serious, but the script completes in what appears to be a

Weird!

The message is serious, but obviously not to the successful completion
of your task.  If I was you, I would still find the missing/zero-length
module(s) and rebuild them.
