Dave, If all you need is ncdump, you can discard the other directories. The share/man/man1 directory has "man" reference documentation ofr ncdump and ncgen, but that documentation is also available online from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/ The executales are statically linked, so don't need the library files in lib, and the files in the include directory are only for use in writing programs that use the netCDF libraries. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RLD-473689 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
