I'll investigate. I haven't been able to duplicate your problem. Building netCDF 3.3 using gcc(1) version 2.7.2 and f77 version SC3.0.1 results in a successfull "make test" in the nf_test/ subdirectory. I'm afraid I don't have your FORTRAN compiler (f77 version 1.x). Just FYI, I made the pseudo-random number generation more portable. It should now work on systems that don't define RAND_MAX. It'll be in the next release. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
