MLC doesn't just use an average, it uses covariance and probabilities which must be calculated from multiple samples in a training data set (or for an ROI, a group of pixels). So MLC cannot use a single mean spectrum and there is no way to use a 'group' of spectra as a class in ENVI. However, the minimum distance and SAM classifiers do not have this requirement and can use library spectra to classify.
