Certainly I would be very interested in a rpm package for > netCDF on intel-Linux (I am usin a SuSE-distribution although this > should be less relevant). Yes, that would be a good idea. We currently have access to only one Linux system here, a Linux 2.2/i686 platform, and we will try creating an RPM distribution for that system to see what's involved. We would not be able to create all the necessary RPM packages for other Linux platforms, but we could collect them from others. Thanks for the suggestion. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
