  • Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 06:03:42 -0600
Hi Tim,

> I am currently trying to install the newest netcdf-fortran library
> (directly from your github repository) with the ifort 14.0.2 - compiler.
> 
> The C-version of netcdf is already compiled and installed with the same
> compiler and works, but the fortran API is not even being configured. I
> also tried different versions of the netcdf-fortran lib and different
> intel compilers.
> 
> The error thrown at configuration time is always the following:
> 
> checking size of off_t... configure: error: in
> `/home/wetz_ti/tar/netcdf-fortran':
> configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (off_t)
> 
> What can I do about that?
> 
> Attached you will find my config.log.
> 
> The CC and FC - flags have been set to the corresponding paths for icc
> and ifort and the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS have been set accordingly to find
> the netcdf-C-library in my user-defined path.

Please try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable while the 
configure script is run, for example:

  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/wetz_ti/libraries/lib  ./configure ...
