Hi James, Yes, the errors your are seeing are bad. Are you by any chance using an old (version 5 or earlier) Portland group compiler on a Linux x86_64 system? If so, there were problems with that compiler that were fixed in later versions, but that compiled netCDF incorrectly inb earlier versions. If not, please supply information about the platform you are running on, aas listed here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Reporting-Problems.html Thanks! --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: AOJ-128968 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
