Hello Chris, I think part of the issue may be your usage of `sudo` when running `make check`; sudo isn't neecessary, and will in fact discard environmental variables, such as the LD_LIBRARY_PATH you set. What happens if you run: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib make check If this doesn't work, can you please provide the `config.log` file generated when you configured the project? Thanks! -Ward > And here's the failure log for this issue. Also I ran export > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib and also used sudo with my make check: > > datahead@datahead-G750JW:~/Documents/SciVis/hw2/netcdfInstall/netcdf-4.3.2$ > cat ncgen3/test-suite.log > ========================================= > netCDF 4.3.2: ncgen3/test-suite.log > ========================================= > > # TOTAL: 2 > # PASS: 0 > # SKIP: 0 > # XFAIL: 0 > # FAIL: 2 > # XPASS: 0 > # ERROR: 0 > > .. contents:: :depth: 2 > > FAIL: run_tests.sh > ================== > > *** Testing ncgen3. > *** creating classic file c0.nc from c0.cdl... > /home/datahead/Documents/SciVis/hw2/netcdfInstall/netcdf-4.3.2/ncgen3/.libs/lt-ncgen3: > error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.7: cannot open shared > object file: No such file or directory > > FAIL: run_nc4_tests.sh > ====================== > > *** Testing ncgen3 for netCDF-4. > *** creating netCDF-4 file c0_4.nc from c0.cdl... > /home/datahead/Documents/SciVis/hw2/netcdfInstall/netcdf-4.3.2/ncgen3/.libs/lt-ncgen3: > error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.7: cannot open shared > object file: No such file or directory > > > ________________________________ > From: Jacobsen, Chris J. > Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 10:56 PM > To: address@hidden > Subject: Linux NetCDF install make check errors... > > > Hello, > > > I ran make check after installing NetCDF using the file at > ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf?-4.3.2.tar.gz (I had to retype > it this time from a slide for this email) > > > Below is the part of the make check tests that had errors.
