Hi Johan, I'm sorry we were unable to diagnose the previously reported problem building netCDF with a PGI compiler on a SUSE 10.1 platform. The only other netCDF support staff has been on vacation for a couple of weeks, but I see your previous question is still open, which means we haven't given up on it yet. I just looked at it and noticed something simple that may solve the original problem with the PGI compiler, and also the new problem with gfortran as well. I think you just have to get the compiler options in the right order, putting the library options *after* the named object file so the compiler knows what objects have to be resolved in the library before it looks in the library. In other words, where you tried pgf90 -L/usr/local/netcdf-3.6.1/lib -lnetcdf \ -I/usr/local/netcdf-3.6.1/src/f90 -o pres_temp_4D_wr.x \ pres_temp_4D_wr.o you should instead use something like pgf90 -I/usr/local/netcdf-3.6.1/src/f90 -o pres_temp_4D_wr.x \ pres_temp_4D_wr.o -L/usr/local/netcdf-3.6.1/lib -lnetcdf I just tried this the first way, which resulted in undefined references, and the second way, which worked fine. I suspect you are seeing the same problem with gfortran. Also, for future reference, you should only refer to installed locations, not to paths in the original source directories, so instead of -I/usr/local/netcdf-3.6.1/src/f90, use -I/usr/local/netcdf-3.6.1/include, assuming that's where the .h, .inc, and .mod files were installed. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: SWV-560841 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Critical Status: Closed
