We are still working on redirects to fix this for existing releases, and the 4.3.2 release fixes it by pointing directly to our new test servers. So, the failure is on our end, not yours. Until this gets fixed, you can complete testing and installation of the netCDF C library and utilities by following these steps: 1. Run "make clean" in the top level directory of your source netCDF source (or unpack the source again in a new source directory) 2. Run the "configure" script again, but this time add the following option to whatever options you previously specified: --disable-dap-remote-tests 3. Run "make check" and verify that it now completes successfully. 4. Run "make install", or "sudo make install" if needed. That should get you past the problem with our test server and allow the installation to complete successfully. Please let us know if you encounter additional errors. -Ward Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: BQS-661496 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
