> Hello, > I have recently begun using a system with OpenSuse 10.3. I have installed > Intel fortran and c compilers. I am attempting to set up the ROMS (Regional > Ocean Modeling System) which depends on having NetCDF which in turn HDF5 > libraries. > > My problem is that I installed NetCDF without HDF5 libraries, so I need them > now because ROMS doesn't work. I have tried to install HDF5 and zlib > libraries after. The last one without any problem. However, I have tried to > build netcdf with HDF5 and zlib but I have the following error message: > > mer@pcfa67:~/netcdf-4.0> ./configure --enable-netcdf-4 > --with-hdf5=/home/mer/local --with-zlib=/home/mer/local > ./configure: line 1861: config.log: Permission denied > ./configure: line 1871: config.log: Permission denied The line number referred to is the line of the configure script, not the line in the config.log file. Line 1861 is cat >config.log <<_ACEOF so you are running the configure script in a directory in which you don't have the right permissions to create or overwrite the file, "config.log". Maybe netCDF was previously installed from this directory by a different user? --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: MDR-335277 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
