Interesting. The above error message indicates that the file VERSION in the top-level source directory doesn't exist. It this true? If so, then it indicates a structural problem with your unpacked distribution and I would suggest reobtaining the distribution and reunpacking it. > make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/andrew/netCDF/netcdf-3.4/src/libsrc' > make[1]: *** [subdir_target] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/andrew/netCDF/netcdf-3.4/src' > make: *** [libsrc/all] Error 2 > > ----------- > And there was no output when I executed the command "cc -c -O -I. -DNDEBUG > error.c" in the libsrc directory. That's probably because it succeeded. Regards, Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
