Hi Tracy, Don't run the configure script using "sudo". As a security precaution, shells run under sudo don't inherit all the parent shell's environment variables, and they specifically don't inherit the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" setting. Unpack the netCDF distribution as a normal user and run everything except "make install" as a normal user. --Russ > i have tried the solution on unidata, but it doesn't work. > > i want to install netcdf with ifort, heres what i done. > > export CC=/opt/intel/bin/icc > export CXX=/opt/intel/bin/icpc > export F77=/opt/intel/bin/ifort > export FC=/opt/intel/bin/ifort > export F90=/opt/intel/bin/ifort > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/lib/intel64 > > sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/netcdf > sudo make check > > > and i get the error message: > > *** Testing creating file with fill values. > *** SUCCESS! > PASS: create_fills.sh > /home/tracy/Downloads/netcdf-4.1.2/nf_test/.libs/lt-nf_test: error while > loading shared libraries: libifport.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No > such file or directory > FAIL: nf_test > /home/tracy/Downloads/netcdf-4.1.2/nf_test/.libs/lt-tst_f77_v2: error while > loading shared libraries: libifport.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No > such file or directory > FAIL: tst_f77_v2 > /home/tracy/Downloads/netcdf-4.1.2/nf_test/.libs/lt-ftest: error while > loading shared libraries: libifport.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No > such file or directory > FAIL: ftest > /home/tracy/Downloads/netcdf-4.1.2/nf_test/.libs/lt-tst_f90: error while > loading shared libraries: libifport.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No > such file or directory > FAIL: tst_f90 > ================================================ > 4 of 5 tests failed > Please report to address@hidden > ================================================ > make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tracy/Downloads/netcdf-4.1.2/nf_test' > make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tracy/Downloads/netcdf-4.1.2/nf_test' > make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 > > > libifport.so.5 is under /opt/intel/lib/intel64 > i have already export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH . > > do i miss anything? or is there any environment variable i do not set up? > please help > > thank you in advance! > > > Tracy > > > Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: EFL-527269 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
