The following is reported to > the screen: craig, first, CC must be set to gcc, otherwise wrong compiler flags, ie % setenv CC gcc also netcdf, udunits, and netcdf-perl must be installed on the system. if you are not going to use perl decoders forget about netcdf-perl. since the decoders package needs to know where the netcdf and udunits headers and includes are, edit file src/CUSTOMIZE uncomment and set CPP_NETCDF, LD_NETCDF, CPP_UDUNITS, & LD_UDUNITS environment vars. Change the paths to your install locations of netcdf and udunits. rm config.log config.status start again, ie % ./configure .... robb... > > checking for catman... catman > checking for manual-page index command... catman -w -M $(MANDIR) > checking the installation prefix... /Users/craig/decoders-3.0.6 > checking the installation exec-prefix... /Users/craig/decoders-3.0.6 > checking for c89... no > checking for cc... no > checking for gcc... gcc > checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C > compiler cannot create executables > See `config.log' for more details. > > > Do you know what the problem is here?
