The makefile in the f90/ subdirectory of the netCDF package has been modified so that the NCDUMP macro now references "../ncdump/ncdump". This is consistent with the treatment of the macros NCDUMP and NCGEN in the ncgen/ and ncdump/ makefiles, respectively, and should solve your problem. This change will be incorporated in the next release. Thanks for the feedback. Regards, Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
