You'll have to patch the interface and rebuild the netCDF package. Please do the following: 1. Go to the top-level source directory. 2. Apply the patch <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/intel-f95-patch> to the file fortran/cfortran.h. 3. Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file INSTALL.html. 4. Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string "-DINTEL_COMPILER", e.g. export CPPFLAGS="-DINTEL_COMPILER ..." or setenv CPPFLAGS "-DINTEL_COMPILER ..." depending on your user-shell and where "..." represents other options you might have. 5. Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file INSTALL.html. Please let me know if this helps. Regards, Steve Emmerson <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
