Hi Achim, The problem indicated in your config.log is /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory leading to configure:3407: error: C compiler cannot create executables This is a problem with your development environment. It could be the result of trying to use a 64-bit gcc compiler on a 32-bit OS that has 32-bit libraries. Other causes include a corrupted development environment or mismatching versions of the compiler and libraries. To get a C compilation environment that can compile and create executables, you may need to reinstall glibc-devel and binutils packages, to make sure they match. On new Ubuntu or Debian systems without a development environment installed, the name of the package may be something like libc6-dev. For example apt-get install libc6-dev may be the way to install the development environment. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: QLW-566018 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
