Hi Dan, Here is the documentation for building the netCDF-Fortran library. Please let us know if you have problems with it or it's not clear: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html --Russ > regarding my previous problem, I fixed that. I had compiled my HDF5 library > using mpicc so I configured like so: > > CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib > CC=/usr/local/bin/mpicc ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-parallel > > and the library built just fine. I have just noticed now that the commands I > sent earlier I copy and pasted the wrong command for uncompressing my > download. However, I have now run into an issue with the build for the > netcdf-fortran build. There is no documentation to assist with the build so I > am going at it blind. I tried the same command more or less: > > CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib > FC=/usr/local/bin/mpif90 F90=/usr/local/bin/mpif90 F77=/usr/local/bin/mpif77 > CC=/usr/local/bin/mpicc ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-parallel > > but make check fails and gives the following error: > > Error: Symbol 'nf_endian_big' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:98.63: > > retval = nf_def_var_fletcher32(ncid, varid, NF_FLETCHER32) > 1 > Error: Symbol 'nf_fletcher32' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:81.48: > > retval = nf_def_var(ncid, "data", NF_INT64, NDIMS, dimids, varid) > 1 > Error: Symbol 'nf_int64' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:69.46: > > retval = nf_create(FILE_NAME, NF_NETCDF4, ncid) > 1 > Error: Symbol 'nf_netcdf4' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:56.15: > > retval = nf_set_chunk_cache(CACHE_SIZE, CACHE_NELEMS, > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_set_chunk_cache' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:61.15: > > retval = nf_get_chunk_cache(cache_size_in, cache_nelems_in, > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_get_chunk_cache' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:87.15: > > retval = nf_def_var_chunking(ncid, varid, 0, chunks) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_def_var_chunking' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:96.15: > > retval = nf_def_var_deflate(ncid, varid, 0, 1, 4) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_def_var_deflate' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:102.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_deflate(ncid, varid, shuffle, deflate, > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_deflate' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:107.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_fletcher32(ncid, varid, checksum) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_fletcher32' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:110.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_chunking(ncid, varid, contiguous, chunks_in) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_chunking' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:115.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_endian(ncid, varid, endianness) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_endian' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:141.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_deflate(ncid, varid, shuffle, deflate, > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_deflate' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:146.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_fletcher32(ncid, varid, checksum) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_fletcher32' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:149.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_chunking(ncid, varid, contiguous, chunks_in) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_chunking' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > ftst_vars.F:154.15: > > retval = nf_inq_var_endian(ncid, varid, endianness) > 1 > Error: Function 'nf_inq_var_endian' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type > make[2]: *** [ftst_vars.o] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/netcdf-fortran-4.4.2/nf_test' > make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/netcdf-fortran-4.4.2/nf_test' > make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 > > Any ideas?
