Dear Paquita Zuidema, While I'm not the maintainer of the netCDF software, I do build and install it for our local users at NCAR. I'm not sure why the "typesizes.mod" file doesn't get installed automatically. I just ended up copying it over myself, to the same directory that it installed "netcdf.mod". It should be in the directory "src/f90" after you build netCDF. Please note that in some cases the filename might be in uppercase, like "TYPESIZES.MOD". > The other thing I thought I might mention is that I could not link to > the netcdf-3.5.1-beta version > through your unidata website, but rather found it on your ftp site > through a Google search. Just > thought you might like to know. Which website were you trying it from? I usually go to: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ and then click on the link to "a compressed tar file" that's in that first paragraph. I just tried it, and it worked for me. You might need to right click on the link and then select the "Save link as" option to download it. But, come to think of it, I don't know which version this is. To make sure you are getting 3.5.1-beta, you might try going directory to the ftp site at: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf and there you should see the "netcdf-3.5.1-beta.tar.Z" file, which is downloadable. I will CC the netCDF folks on your inquiries, in case they have some wisdom on the "typesizes.mod" file and why it doesn't get installed automatically.
