The file INSTALL.html contains examples of this. Please try the following: 1. Go to the top-level source directory. 2. Perform steps 3 through 5 mentioned near the end of the file INSTALL.html. 3. Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string "-Df2cFortran", e.g. export CPPFLAGS="-Df2cFortran" 4. Perform steps 6 through 9 mentioned near the end of the file INSTALL.html. Please let me know if this helps. Regards, Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
