Hi folks, Since you've cited an RPM, I'd like to point out the netcdf package thats included in Fedora Extras: http://fedora.redhat.com/ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraMain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras for Fedora Core 3 and 4. It has the following features: + trivial install: "yum install netcdf netcdf-devel" + includes libraries compatible with both g77 (gcc 3.x which can be installed on Fedora Core 4 with "compat-gcc-32-g77") and the newer gfortran (part of gcc 4.x) + Fedora Extras currently ships with many helpful related and/or dependent packages including: NCO, ncview, cdo, udunits, grads, hdf, hdf5, etc. + the above packages are actively maintained, so if you have any problems please submit them to the Fedora (Red Hat) bugzilla at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi Also, if you have any suggestions for improving Fedora support for netcdf or any related software, please send an email.
