How's the weather in Hawaii today? Presumably it's perfect, like every other day! Sorry, no binary for that AIX 64-bit. But it should build for you pretty easily. All I had to do to get 64 bit was set environment variable OBJECT_MODE to 64, and do the usual ./configure && make test See the output here: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/builds/AIX_64_3_6_0.txt Also you could take a look at: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Building-on-64-Bit-Platforms.html which has an alternative way to build 64-bit on AIX. If this doesn't work, please send the full ASCII output of: make distclean && ./configure && make test Good luck! Ed -- Ed Hartnett -- address@hidden
