Checking more carefully, it looks like the "pkg-config --static --libs" solution didn't work for me either, for the netCDF C library. I got the same output whether I used "--static" or not. It did seem to work for the netCDF Fortran library, however. The suggestion to add a "--static" flag to nc-config was made some time ago, and discussed on the netcdfgroup mailing list: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/netcdfgroup/2011/msg00315.html but without resolution. I think fixing this with pkg-config for the netCDF C library would require that HDF5 ship with pkg-config support, which it doesn't currently. I'm not sure what's needed to add a "--static-libs" flag to nc-config, but we'll look into it when we can. A temporary workaround would be to just modify the nc-config shell script locally to support this functionality, though I know that's not a good long-term solution ... --Russ > Thanks and Regards, > Davide Del Vento, > NCAR Computational & Information Services Laboratory > Consulting Services Software Engineer > http://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/uss/csg/ > > On 07/12/2013 02:03 PM, Unidata netCDF Support wrote: > > Hi Davide, > > > >> We've installed netcdf in Yellowstone with both shared and static > >> libraries.
