What are the permissions on the /bin/NETCDF/netcdf-4.0.1/libsrc directory? Could you please send the output of running the following commands: cd /bin/NETCDF/netcdf-4.0.1/libsrc ls -ld `pwd` touch zzz If the last command produces a "permission denied" error, I suggest you build in a different directory, where you have permission to create files and subdirectories. Otherwise, please send us the information requested here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Reporting-Problems.html Thanks. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KWX-611624 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
