Greetings Wolfgang, It seems that the issue is that the compiler is trying to link to libszip (-lszip) rather than libsz (-lsz). I'll need to figure our why configure is using the -lszip flag rather than -lsz. As a quick fix, try the following in the top level directory of your netCDF build (do a make clean first): sed -i -e 's/\[szip\]/\[sz\]/' configure.ac Then, re-configure and rebuild to see what happens. Cheers!
