This is one of our Frequently Asked Questions for netCDF, answers to which are available at the URL http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/faq.html 14. How can I build netCDF for SGI under IRIX 5.x? We tested the netCDF installation on IRIX 4.0 which used a BSD-style install, but with IRIX 5.2, the flags on the install utility changed. To get around this, you need to define the INSTALL configuration variable before building netCDF from the source distribution. How to do this is explained in the installation documents. INSTALL should be defined as /usr/bin/X11/bsdinst which, according to the IRIX 5.2 man pages is an install that uses BSD-style arguments. Then rerun the configure script and redo the make all. This is fixed in the next release, where we just use cp instead of install to get around all such problems. ______________________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
