Howdy Greg! The problems you experienced with make distchek and the man4 directory were caused by a known bug in the 4.1.1 release of netCDF. This has been fixed, and if you want you can try the 4.1.2 beta release to see the fix in action: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.2-beta1.tar.gz Thanks, Ed Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: MKG-475919 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Critical Status: Closed
