Hello, Can you please provide the config.log generated when you run `configure`? This should provide information I can use to determine what has gone wrong. In regards to the `libnetcdff` file required by ioapi, you will need to install the netcdf-fortran interface. This is available from http://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran. You will need to have libnetcdf installed first, however. I hope this helps, -Ward > Hello, > > I am trying to install netcdf 4.3.2 on my laptop to use it for the ioapi > installation.
