Hello, You will need to install parallel-netcdf after installing netcdf-4.3.3.1, not before. NetCDF will look for parallel-netcdf when you configure it. For reference, parallel-netcdf (pnetcdf) is not maintained here at Unidata, but is rather a product jointly developed by Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory. In regards to the Intel MPI compilers; I understand that they work with netCDF, but we do not have the capabilities to test against them, so I cannot say for certain. I hope this helps, -Ward > Dear Support > > I am trying to compile netcdf-4.3.3.1 library with parallel support for > RegCM-4.4.5.5. I have some queries regarding this- > > 1.
