This is on a Pentium machine of some sort. It is the closest thing I have to your system, and frankly, I am surprised that you are having problems. Same compiler, same cpu, pretty much the same OS, different results? (BSDI is a Berkeley UNIX with support which has pretty much the same roots as FreeBSD. Netcdf has been built on BSDI 2.x, which was still binary compatible with FreeBSD?) The only thing I can think of is gcc built improperly, or that some include file values are hosed up, specifically the MAX_ stuff from limits.h or float.h, or DBL_EPSILON from float.h. Another possibility is that configure is figure that you have signed char when you don't, or vis versa. Sorry I can't be of more help. As I said in my previous message, I wouldn't worry too much about failing nc_test and or nf_test in this case. The library is probably fine. -glenn
