Hello Bryce, Precompiled netcdf packages are only available from Unidata for Windows platforms. Many modern linux distributions, however, have community-supported netcdf packages available through the appropriate package manager (apt, yum, etc). If this will not work for you, instructions for downloading and installing netcdf may be found here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html I hope this helps, -Ward > Hello, > > I'm using a new program which requries a NetCDF package.
