Thank you for your help. > Tong Li Yes. If you only intend to use the C API, then you can safely ignore the error messages. > ********************************************************************************************* ... making `test' in directory /ufs/users/mri/mcgill/netcdf-2.3.2/fortran > make[1]: Entering directory `/ufs/users/mri/mcgill/netcdf-2.3.2/fortran' > make[2]: Entering directory `/ufs/users/mri/mcgill/netcdf-2.3.2/fortran' > ./fortc -L . -O sunos ftest.src > ftest.f > f77 -c ftest.f > ftest.f: > MAIN ftest: > tncacpy: > tncadel: > tncagt: > tncapt: > BLOCK DATA: > tncddef: > tncinq: > tncredf: > tncvdef: > tncvgt: > tncvgt1: > tncvpt: > tncvpt1: > ar rcuv ../libsrc/libnetcdf.a jackets.o > f77 ftest.o -L../libsrc -lnetcdf -o ftest > Undefined first referenced > symbol in file > __cg92_used > /opt/SUNWspro/SC2.0.1/cg92/libm.a(fp_class.o) > ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

I suggest you upgrade to version SC3.0.1 as soon as possible to avoid future problems. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
