Greetings Nhan, I thought the PATH needed to point to the lib directory of the netcdf-c install, not bin. Did it used to work pointing to bin? Unfortunately, I do not have a windows machine to test on currently. Could you try adding the netcdf lib/ directory to the path? Thanks! Sean > Hi Sean, > > Thanks for your reply.
