Dave, > That was just the information I was looking for. > > One related question is do we need to also build a netCDF library for our > Intel fortran codes? Or will either a gnu or PGI build netCDF library work > with the Intel fortran codes? There are 3 common sets of conventions for calling C functions from Fortran code, but lots of minor variations, supported by the fortran/cfortran.h system until we get the Fortran API refactored to use f-2003's standardization of such conventions. In the meantime, I think a library built for PGI works the same as for Intel's ifort, but that GNU gfortran uses different conventions, as in this previous support response: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.netcdf/1612 You need to specify the fortran compiler you are using by setting CPPFLAGS and rerunning netCDF configure. Set -DgFortran if you are using gfortran, -DpgiFortran for PGI or Intel fortran, and -Df2cFortran for everything else. --Russ > -----Original Message----- > From: Unidata netCDF Support [mailto:address@hidden] > Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 8:52 > To: Reynolds, David CTR 63134 > Cc: address@hidden > Subject: [netCDF #DBY-733925]: netCDF > > Hi Dave, > > > Organization: FNMOC > > Package Version: 3.6.1 > > Operating System: RHEL 5.5 > > Hardware: Linux Cluster > > > > We have a user running a PGI compiled code trying to use a v3.6.1 > > gnu compiled netCDF library.
