As the instructions for building, at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_default.html include this statement: The installation location specified with the --prefix option must be different from the source directory where the software is being built. The "make install" has overwritten some of your source files, so please try downloading the source again, using a different install directory. --Russ > > pls try to resolve this > > > > -- > > M.
