This means that your C++ compilation environment is broken and can't be used to compile the C++ netCDF interface. You have two choices: 1. Repair your C++ compilation environment (e.g. by reinstalling the GNU C compiler). This will require that you consult with your system administrator. or 2. Cause the C++, netCDF interface to be ignored. This requires that you re-execute steps 2 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file. At step 5 -- when defining environment variables -- set the environment variable CXX to the empty string (i.e. ""). Please let me know if this helps. -------- Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
