> Dear Unidata colleague, > > I am currently installing the software required to run and diagnose a > chemistry-climate model on my linux computer (openSuse 10.2) > encountering some problems with the installation of the netcdf library. > I get the next error message using the command 'make check' indicating > a problem with one of the shared libraries. Because of other > compilation and library problems I have some idea what the problem > might be but don't have the experience to resolve this issue fast and > was hoping that you could help giving some easy solution to this > problem.
