Add '--disable-shared' to 'configure' for netcdf or remove it for hdf5.
(note that I never used your compiler, so might not be the correct
solution)

Cédric.

Hi,

I have similar problem with Svancara, Randall and I have tried using
CFLAGS=-fPIC as suggested by abrício Zimmerer Murta but it does not work
either.

Thank you for your time.

Cheers,


Have you tried using the suggested -fPIC? I think it is enough to set also
CFLAGS=-fPIC among the whole lot of options you already use in netcdf's
./configure line.

Hi,


I am experiencing difficulty compiling netcdf.  Here is how I have compiled the
software:


1. Compile zlib 1.2.5


1184  CC=gcc ./configure --prefix=/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc
1185  make
1186  make install


2. Compile szip 2.1
1200  ./configure --prefix=/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc
1201  make
1203  make install


3. Compile HD5


1224  CC=/home/software/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpicc  ./configure
--prefix=/home/software/hd5-1.8.7_gcc_openmpi --enable-parallel
--enable-production --with-szlib=/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc/lib
--with-zlib=/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc --disable-shared
1225  make
1226  make install


3. Compile NetCDF


fc=mpif90 cxx=mpicxx CC=mpicc
CPPFLAGS="-I/home/software/hd5-1.8.7_gcc_openmpi/include
-I/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc/include -I/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/home/software/hd5-1.8.7_gcc_openmpi/lib
-L/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc -L/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc" ./configure
--prefix=/home/software/netcdf-4.1.3
make


I receive the following error during the build:

Spefically:

relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a

I am not sure why I am receiving this error from HD5.  Anyone have a good build
recipe for this software they care to share?


Thanks,

Randall
