I may be able to look at this next week to try to reproduce the problem on MacOS X 10.2.1, but for now, you might just try getting the binary distribution for MacOSX which has already been compiled and see if that works for you: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/macosx_10.1-powerpc/netcdf-3.5.0.tar.gz If you have "fink", you can also get a pre-built binary distribution for netCDF via that package installer. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
