Detlef,

I'm afraid that we don't have the time and equipment resources needed to
support NASA's "one-source" distribution of netCDF 3.4.  I suggest that
you contact the author(s) of that package.

Also, VMS is not a supported platform for our netCDF package (we don't
have a VMS system and don't want one).  You might try the netCDF
mailing-list <address@hidden> to find someone who's
successfully built the latest netCDF package under VMS.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson   <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
