I don't know of anyone who has ever successfully gotten the netCDF Fortran interface built for a NeXT using the Absoft Fortran compiler. Craig Mattocks (address@hidden) got it built under NeXTSTEP 3.0 using the f2c version of f77. We don't have access to a NeXT platform with a Fortran compiler, so we haven't been able to test that combination. You might try posting a query to the address@hidden mailing list, or searching through past archives of netCDF support mail using one of the search links and a WWW browser like Mosaic on the URL http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ If you want to debug the problem, you probably should start by making sure the M4 macros defined in netcdf/fortran/next.m4 are reasonable; they may be just guesses based on reading the documentation, since we didn't have a Fortran compiler to test with. __________________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
