20040325: Attempting to install netcdf 3.5.1 lib on RH Enterprise WS 3.

David,

In looking through the environment variables you had defined before
running the 3.5.1 'configure', I see that you are missing a couple.
Here is the full list of environment variables you should define
taken from the netCDF web pages on Installing the netCDF:

http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/INSTALL.html

CC=/usr/bin/gcc
CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran'
CFLAGS=-O
FC=/usr/bin/g77
FFLAGS='-O -Wno-globals'
CXX=/usr/bin/g++

You also need to keep your "null" setting for F90:

F90=""

After defining the full set of environment varibles, you need to
do a 'make distclean', rerun 'configure', and then run make again.

Please let us know if this does not solve your netCDF build problem.

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas

Hi Tom,

Thanks very much for your suggestions and pointers to the additional 
environmental vars.
Adding what you recommended for CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, and FFLAGS did the 
trick. The
install went very nicely.
