The netcdf distribution now also include udunits and libcf, and these each run their own configure script, even if you are not building or installing them. > (PS - I'm sure that autotools are responsible for a nontrivial share of my > grey hair... hope my debug dumps helped!) > You're support emails and dumps helped very much, and this problem was also cropping up in another guise in another support request, so by solving it I was able to solve that one too.
