[netCDF #KCB-778033]: trouble shooting while installing NCO

This is a problem with your C++ API. Are you going to use the C++ API? If not,
I would just retry, with the --disable-cxx option to configure.

These are NCO errors. NCO is a different package. First make sure you have
netCDF working by running make check. If make check succeeds, then go on to
NCO.

The problem in error B is not from netCDF, so I can't tell you much. Sorry. :-(

Maybe your netCDF build already worked, if it completed OK. Run "make check" to
be sure.

Then try a "make distclean" on the NCO package, and start over again clean, and
see if it works...

Good luck!

turn off the building of the Fortran 77, Fortran 90, and C++ APIs. They are not
used by NCO. Otherwise you may have to set FFLAGS, F90FLAGS, and CXXFLAGS as
