You don't have permission to create the directory you're trying to install netCDF in: > test -z "/enxmabm/netcdf-3.6.3/share/man/man3" || /bin/mkdir -p "/enxmabm/netcdf-3.6.3/share/man/man3" > /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/enxmabm': Permission denied You need to have write permissions in the /enxmabm directory. I don't think you typed your configure line quite right: > ./configure --prefix=$ scratch/enxmabm/netcdf-3.6.3 --enable-shared FC=gfortran Did you mean to type the "$ " before your --prefix argument? Please let me know if this doesn't help. Thanks, Ed Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RCJ-205439 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
