> > >> We are using the version 3.6.2. > > > Also, you should get the netCDF-4.0 release, which just came out a few weeks ago. Then you face another choice: do you also want to build HDF5 to take advantage of the full features of netCDF-4? If so, you must follow these instructions: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html Basically, you must get zlib-1.2.3, HDF5-1.8.1, and netCDF-4.0, and build and install them in that order, with the correct options so HDF5 can use zlib, and netcdf can use HDF5. Let me know if you need help. Thanks, Ed Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RIN-798614 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Open
