Hi Leigh, Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your question! > Can't make it through the conifgure script. > > Could you please let me know what, if any, environment variables you set > (i.e., compilers & flags) as well as what you passed to configure. I don't have access to an up-to-date AIX platform for testing, but I think the easiest way to build 64-bit libraries and executables is to set the environment variable OBJECT_MODE=64 before building. At least ar respects that environment setting, and reportedly xlf and xlc as well. That was reported as working here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html#aix_4_1_1 I hope this helps. --Russ > bp-login2:/u/home/ac/orf/build/netcdf-4.1.2-beta2-snapshot2010113009% echo > $FC $FFLAGS $CC $CFLAGS > xlf -q64 cc -q64 > > ./configure --with-hdf5=/opt/hdf5-1.8.5-serial64 --enable-netcd4 > --prefix=/u/home/ac/orf/netcdf4 > > [...] > > checking nm flags... > checking for C-equivalent to Fortran routine "SUB"... 0654-210 conftest.o is > not valid in the current object file mode. > Use the -X option to specify the desired object mode. > > In my experience this typically means ar isn't passing -X64.
