Hi Armel

I guess with the new (post netcdf 4.1.3) NetCDF distributions,
you need to install the C bindings first (say, netcdf 4.3.0 or 4.3.1).
[In my humble opinion, this separation made the NetCDF
installation much more complicated.]
After you install NetCDF (C API/bindings)
you can install the NetCDF Fortran library, and you need to point
to the netCDF C library location also (with environment variables).

I would not try to use g77, which is ancient.
I suggest that you use gfortran (or install it with yum/apt-get),
along with gcc and g++.

I hope this helps,
Gus Correa

Hi there,

I'm working on linux and I tried without success to install to install
the library netcdf.

Any thougths on how to fix the problem will be very much appreciated.

Below is what I did:

1) I downloaded and unzipped the file netcdf-fortran-4.2.tar.gz
2) I changed the current directory to netcdf-fortran-4.2
3) As explianed here
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/old_docs/INSTALL_pre_360.html#linux,


     CC=/usr/bin/c99
     CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran
     FC=/usr/bin/g77
     FFLAGS=-Wno-globals
     CXX=/usr/bin/g++

4) I runned configure ./configure

I'm getting the following error message "configure: error: netcdf.h
could not be found. Please set CPPFLAGS."
