Hi Peter, This is just a quick reply to a couple of your suggestions. I added, at the top of the netCDF-Fortran page on GitHub, a prominent mention that the netCDF C library must be installed first. See: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran > The URL http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran- > install.htm does _not_ appear there (checked a few minutes ago), e.g. > your: "Building the netCDF-4.2 and later Fortran libraries" It looks like you're missing the final "l". The URL ends with ".html", not ".htm". I just checked again, and it's there: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html Thanks for your detailed notes on what parts of the documentation caused problems. We'll try to make it clearer and easier to follow. --Russ Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: EJA-190555 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Open
