These files are not found because ncconfig.h is generated in a platform-specific way from other source files as part of the installation of the netCDF package, when following the INSTALL instructions available with the source distribution or from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html Since you are building on a Windows platform, the most important part of the INSTALL instructions for you are: If you wish to build from source on a Windows (Win32) platform, different instructions apply. We have pre-built netCDF 3.5.0 libraries for Win 95/98/NT, available here ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32bin.ZIP To do your own source build, get this zip file ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32makeVC6.ZIP (these make files are for Microsoft Visual C 6 and Digital Fortran 6, you will have to modify for a different environment). Read WIN32_README.TXT ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/WIN32_README.TXT for more info. > Thanks & Regards You're welcome! Thanks for using netCDF. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://my.unidata.ucar.edu
