It looks like the command "yum install netcdf" only installed the netCDF C library, which is the most commonly used netCDF library. However, for WRF you also need the netCDF-Fortran library, which depends on an installed netCDF library. The old netCDF version 4.1.3 included Fortran and C libraries in the same distribution, but all later versions have netCDF-Fortran in a separate distribution package. I don't see "netcdf-fortran" as a package provided by yum, but building it from source is not hard, if you already have the netCDF C library installed. You can download netCDF-Fortran from here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ and instructions for building, testing, and installing it are here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html --Russ > Thanking you > > Pampi Mallik > > > Assam University, Silchar, Asssam.
