We don't have a system like yours so we can't investigate. You might try posting to the netCDF mailing-list <address@hidden>. > If this is the case, is there any > makefile out there that I can use for MSC5.1 cc compiler in > order to build the library? We don't support the MSC5.1 cc compiler so no, there's no makefile for it. > > The second choice is that, I will get gcc or f2c compiler. > >From the NetCDF 2.4.3 Release Notes, the MSDOS platform has been > built and tested by gcc, f2c and GNU make.

The relevant URLs are ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/vendors/djgpp/ and ftp://netlib.att.com:/netlib/f2c/ Please let me know if this helps. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
