Hi,
        I just got ncetcdf-1.11.1 off unidata and tried compiling it. I 
have a Sun SS2 running SunOS 4.1.1, I used the generic makefile which
came with the package and changed DESTDIR to /big/sun4.

Everything compiled ok and the XDR stuff passed it's tests but when
ftest ran I got 

ftest

 --- Testing ncddef ...
 --- Testing ncvdef ...
 --- Testing ncapt, ncaptc ...
 --- Testing ncclos ...
 --- Testing ncvpt1 ...

 --- Testing ncopn, ncinq, ncdinq, ncvinq, ncanam, ncainq ...
 --- Testing ncvgt, ncvgtc ...
 --- Testing ncagt, ncagtc ...
 --- Testing ncredf, ncdren, ncvren, ncaren, ncendf ...
ncendef: rename failed: Cross-device link
*** Segmentation Violation = signal 11 code 3 
The trace file contains :-

End traceback...

I then tried nctest which didn't get very far at all :-

--- Testing nccreate ...
--- Testing ncopen ...
*** test_ncopen: ncendef failed after ncattput
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I tried using some different ways of building the release, using the supplied
XDR files etc, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Anybody out there
give me a clue as to whats going on ? I haven't subscribed to this mail
group so please email reply to me.

Thanks
