The standard way to build the netCDF package without C++ support is to set the environment variable `CXX' to the empty-string prior to executing the configure script. For example, using csh(1): % setenv CXX '' % ./configure >&! configure.log and using a POSIX shell: $ CXX= ./configure >configure.log 2>&1 You can then procede with a `make all'. I believe all this is documented in the INSTALL file. Please let me know if this helps. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
