20040726: Problem with installing NetCDF-PERL

Don,

It could be that the POLLUTE variable needs to be defined in order to 
correctly build the netCDF-Perl package.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Perform step 2 described near the end of the file INSTALL.  You
        should use the same settings as before.

    4.  Ensure that the environment variable POLLUTE is defined with
        the value 1, e.g.,

            export POLLUTE=1

        or

            setenv POLLUTE 1

        depending on your user-shell.

    5.  Perform steps 3 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

Please let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson

In addition, I had the following environment variable settings:
CPP_NETCDF=-I/usr/local/include
LD_NETCDF=-L/usr/local/lib
PERL=/home/www/data/hoop/bin/perl
PERL_MANDIR=/home/www/data/hoop/man

I just downloaded this perl last week (5.8.5).  The NetCDF in /usr/local/lib
is 3.4.  I didn't have any trouble doing UDUNITS-PERL.

Thanks,
