Do you by any chance have some ideas about what I should do > about this problem. My system is Red Hat Linux 7.3. Thanks I'm not familiar with "bicpl", but ncopen is in the library created by building from the netcdf 3.5.0 source (it's defined in src/libsrc/v2i.c). So either you haven't installed the resulting netcdf library in a place where "bicpl" can find it, or you haven't told "bicpl" where to look for the netcdf library. I would need more details to diagnose the problem further. If you're following the instructions at: http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~stever/Software/MacOSX/Notes.2001-08-16 for building bicpl, for example, it installs the netcdf library in "/usr/local/mni" by specifying that location when running the "configure" script. Then it specifies the same directory for where bicpl should find its libraries by the arguments to the bicpl "configure" script. You could follow the same steps with a different directory than "/usr/local/mni" and it should still work. If you still have problems, please send us the details to "address@hidden". --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
