I've just tried building netcdf 2.4.2 on a SunOS 4.1.4 system using the SC3.0.1 compilers, and it seemed to work fine, with no messages and no errors, so I can't seem to duplicate the problem. Also, I'm not sure what the "c++" compiler is that you are using, since our system uses "CC" to comile the C++ interface and tests. Are you able to successfully compile and link other C++ programs with it? If not, you may want to specify to configure not to build the C++ interface until that problem is solved. > making `all' in directory /home2/sundog/local/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/port > > > returning to directory /home2/sundog/local/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src > > > making `all' in directory /home2/sundog/local/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/xdr > > > returning to directory /home2/sundog/local/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src > > > making `all' in directory /home2/sundog/local/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/libsrc > > acc -c -O array.c > acc -c -O attr.c > acc -c -O cdf.c > acc -c -O dim.c > acc -c -O file.c > acc -c -O iarray.c > acc -c -O error.c > acc -c -O globdef.c > acc -c -O putget.c > "putget.c", line 354: warning: argument #1 is incompatible with prototype: > prototype: pointer to char : > "/usr/lang/SC3.0.1/include/cc_413/string.h", line 21 > argument : pointer to uchar We don't get this message (or any of the other similar messages), so I suspect there is something different about the compiler setup. Could you please do the following? - Run "rm config.cache" from the top-level netcdf src/ directory. - Run the configure script again, and send us all the output.
