Etienne, If you are tryingto create a double-precision version of the netcf libs, here is some info we found from the NetCDF known problems page: --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/known_problems.html#r8 "Problem with simultaneous 8-byte reals and doubleprecisions in Fortran-90 interface The Fortran-90 interface of the netCDF package doesn't support environments where both real values and doubleprecision values are 8-bytes wide (e.g. the Portland Group's Fortran-90 compiler with the "-r8" option). Workarounds include the following: * Not using the Fortran-90 interface (the Fortran-77 interface works OK in this environment); and * Modifying the netCDF-using code, replacing the use of real values with doubleprecision values." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- We see in netcdf that the common data format uses 6 bytes to store the real value, so an 8-byte real will need more room, and more changes will be needed. regards, daveI retry with pgi 5.2-4 + your modifications in $PGI/linux86-64/5.2/include/sys/types.h + $PGI/linux86-64/5.2/include/bits/types.h and had no more success to compile netcdf 3.5.1 ?! Etienne address@hidden a écrit:That's it? I haven't any troubles on a x86_64 system ?!Just want to get past this one, and see if things improve. Replace $PGI/linux86-64/5.2/include/sys/types.h and $PGI/linux86/5.2/include/sys/types.h with the attached sys_types.h Replace $PGI/linux86-64/5.2/include/bits/types.h and $PGI/linux86/5.2/include/bits/types.h with the attached bits_types.haddress@hidden a écrit:We can get rid of one problem. Send us the files /usr/include/sys/types.h /usr/include/bits/types.h and we will fix them to replace the ones in $PGI/linux86/5.2/include/sys /bits and we can proceed from there. daveOn the following systems redhat 9.0 : + uname -a Linux px-master.mercator-ocean.fr 2.6.8-1.584smp #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 07:39:39 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I tried to compile netcdf 3.5.1 with pgi 5.2-2 according your notices on the web in the following way in double precision for real fortran. env CC=pgcc CFLAGS="-O -Msignextend -V" FC=pgf90 F90=pgf90 FFLAGS="-g -w -V" \ CXX=pgCC CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran" ./configure -prefix=/tmp/final >& config.log and I got that in the configure checking size of short...

This matters for (somewhat) portably writing printf/scanf formats for these types, where using the appropriate l or ll format modifiers can make the typedefs and the formats match up across all GNU platforms. If we used `long' when it's 64 bits where `long long' is expected, then the compiler would warn about the formats not matching the argument types, and the programmer changing them to shut up the compiler would break the program's portability.
