Hi,

As a result of NCAR changing to HDF5 I’ve been trying to upgrade my NetCDF 
libraries. I’m on a Power Mac running OS X 10.10.2. I usually have NetCDF C and 
NetCDF Fortran installed as I need both.

Following the following web pages:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_default.html 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_default.html>

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html>

I successfully installed HDF5 (1.8.13), zlib (1.2.8). I already have curl 
(7.37.1).

I successfully installed NetCDF for C (4.3.3.1).

However, I’m getting an error for netcdf-fortran when I make check:

gfortran -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../libsrc    -I../fortran   -I../fortran 
-m64 -c -o ftst_rengrps.o ftst_rengrps.F
ftst_rengrps.F:49.48:

      call check(nf_create(FILE_NAME, NF_NETCDF4, ncid))                
                                                1
Error: Symbol 'nf_netcdf4' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type
make[2]: *** [ftst_rengrps.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

It seems to not be seeing /usr/local/include/netcdf.inc, which is there. All 
locations are defaults, I’ve also tried specifying them explicitly (ie, with 
LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS etc).

So what stupid mistake have I made? Given that that is what it always is :)

Cheers

Harry
