Jennifer- I think the problem is that your --prefix is incorrect. It is referring to the source directory rather than the directory into which you want to install netcdf (i.e netcdf libraries, include files, documenation, etc). As a rule it is a bad idea to try to install into your source directory. p.s. You do not need to specify both --with-curl and --with-curl-config. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OAF-412686 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Open
