Hi Thomas, We have a Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Intel Core Duo) platform for testing, but unfortunately, we do not have an Absoft Fortran compiler installed on it, so we cannot reproduce the problem you see. With gfortran on Mac OS X, netCDF 3.6.2 installed and tested OK: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/3_6_2/sid_Darwin_netcdf-3.6.2_2007-03-05-10-44.txt We have reports from another user who successfully built netCDF with Absoft Fortran Pro 10 by using the environment variable settings FC=/Applications/Absoft10/bin/f90 CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran F77=/Applications/Absoft10/bin/f90 FFLAGS=-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_ FCFLAGS=-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_ FCFLAGS_F90=-YEXT_NAMES=LCS -s -YEXT_SFX=_ For a different successful build using Absoft on Mac OS X, see: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html#absoft > - Does this have to end without "Exit"? > - How can I avoid that? > - Could you SSH to my machine to resolve the matter? The tests run with "make check" typically do not exit when the first failure is encountered, but instead run a complete set of tests to report on each failure encountered in the set. I'm not sure whether there is any easy way to change that. > 3) Fortran code in user's folder: able to compile but unable to link. > > - Suggestions? If you can successfully run the "make install" part of the installation, linking Fortran programs is straightforward, such as f90 -M/usr/local/include prog.f90 -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -o prog where "-M" identifies where the netcdf.mod file is installed and different compilers specify this in different ways. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: UZA-204445 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
