The failed tests are trying to access data on a remote test server, so the failure you're seeing could be due to your platform running the test while not connected to the Internet, or could be due to a server failure over which you have no control. If you want to finish the tests so you can install the software, you could reconfigure with the --disable-dap-remote-tests option. If you don't even need remote access to netCDF data for your GMT build, you could also just eliminate it with the --disable-dap configure option. --Russ > In any case, thanks for your help. > > David Hindle > > -- > **************************************** > Dr David Hindle > University of Göttingen > GZG, Structural Geology and Geodynamics > Rm. 119 > Goldschmidtstr. 1-3 > 37077 Göttingen > Germany > > tel. +49 551 397905 > fax. +49 551 399700 > **************************************** > > > Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XWK-875755 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
