Do a make distclean before retrying though. > > At last, I got a successful message. But "libnetcdf.so.4" wasn't found... It > seems I have to install WITH HDF5? Or any other reasons? > As well as I couldn't install libnetcdf-4.0.1.rpm either. alert > "netcdf-4.0.1 is needed"... > By the way, I download all rpm packages from openSUSE: > http://software.opensuse.org/search. I trust it. Is the rpm package really > broken, or a downloading/system problem... I don't know. > > I'm sorry to bother you again. Your suggestions are very necessary.
