>From: address@hidden (Hooman Famili) >Organization: Cornell >Keywords: 199406282010.AA16456 netCDF install NeXTSTEP 3.2 Hooman, >I am trying to compile netcdf but I am not able to do so. The operating >system I use is NeXTSTEP 3.2 runnnig on a intel 486 machine. >The configure file needs the OS, MACHINE and FC variables. >So I set OS to nextos3.2 > MACHINE to ibmps/2 > FC to nothing since I don't have a fortran compiler. >I run make all. But when I run make test the XDR binary test fails. >How do I fix this? Unfortunately, we have no experience with this setup. You may have better luck (faster response) by posing your question to the netcdfgroup as a whole. >I am installing the software as a user in my user directory. So I should >have the necessary permissions. But when I run make install the mkdir >function returns an error saying permission denied. This is most likely due to the permissions on the target directory which are likely owned by root. >I hope you can reply soon. I am in a bit of hurry... Try sending the first question to address@hidden. Tom Yoksas
