Hi, The problem indicated in config.log that casued the configure script to exit is associated with the message: configure:3273: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. In particular, the configure script looked for xlc, cc, c89, acc, and gcc, and finding none of them, it gave up looking for a C compiler. If you have a different C compiler installed somewhere that you want to use, you should set the CC environment variable to its location before invoking the configure script. In case you don't have a C compiler installed, you might be able to use a binary distribution from ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/linux_2.6-i686/netcdf-3.6.2.tar.gz or one of the other more recent snapshots from that directory. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: WNT-817039 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
