The top-level file "INSTALL.html" contains examples. I suggest the following: 1. Go to the top-level source directory. 2. Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the "INSTALL.html" file. 3. Ensure that the environment variable FFLAGS contains the string "-cpp". 4. Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the "INSTALL.html" file. Regards, Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
