Hi Marwan,

Sorry it's taken so long to respond, we've been away at a meeting for a week.

The error you are getting is

configure:6697: checking for grep that handles long lines and -e
configure:6760: error: no acceptable grep could be found in
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Silverfrost/FTN95:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:%C:/WINDOWS%/system32:%C:/WINDOWS%:%C:/WINDOWS%/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/QuickTime/QTSystem:/usr/xpg4/bin

which indicates the grep utility program that is part of your cygwin
installation is inadequate
for building and testing netCDF.  We've never seen this error before with a
cygwin installation.
There should be a suitable grep utility available as part of the cygwin
installation.  Perhaps
your search path is not set correctly?  Do you get a location on your search
path when you
look for it with "which grep"?
