stephen,

this is not a binary release, the code needs to be compiled. also 2 other
packages need to be installed before one can compile the decoders package.
netcdf and udunits need to be install, there are links to those packages
on the decoders page.  the decoders has two files, INSTALL and CUSTOMIZE
to assist in compiling the package, strongly suggest that you read those
files.
