Hi,

> I am trying to build NetCDF-4.3.0 libraries on Linux, that i downloaded
> from the unidata website. I builded zlib and hdf5 first and then when I
> am trying to build netcdf(through the command "$ make check instal"l),
> I am getting the error/warning and then the build stops:
> 
> CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh 
> /home/Project/netcdf-4.3.0/missing aclocal-1.13 -I m4
> /home/Project/netcdf-4.3.0/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.13: command not found
> WARNING: 'aclocal-1.13' is missing on your system.
> You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
> 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
> The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
> <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
> It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
> <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
> <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
> <http://www.perl.org/>
> make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
> 
> Can you please take a look, and help me resolve the issue.

Before running "make", you have to run a "configure" script, as described
here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/build_default.html

The configure script runs programs to determine characteristics of
your OS and development environment, then creates custom Makefiles.

If you get errors running the configure script before it creates Makefiles,
please send us the output, as well as the file "config.log".
