Yes, the netCDF 2.3 version assumed a BSD-style install as was used with earlier versions of IRIX, but with IRIX 5.2, the flags on the install utility changed. you need to define the INSTALL configuration variable before building netCDF from the source distribution. How to do this is explained in the netCDF installation document. 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. The netCDF 2.4 version, currently in beta-test, fixes this problem. ______________________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
