Hello, It appears that you trying to create a shared library linking against an older static netCDF library. You will need to pass --disable-shared when configuring netCDF-Fortran, or recompile a shared version (or static, with --fPIC) of the netCDF-C library. I hope this helps, have a great day, -Ward > Hi,I tried to install "netcdf-fortran-4.4.4" in linux CentOS, but I > encountered an error after gmake command. > My linux features are:$uname -aLinux localhost.localdomain > 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 > x86_64 GNU/Linux > > $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.5 (Final) > $ ncdump -versionnetcdf library version "4.0" of Nov 18 2016 14:00:42 $ > > $ NCDIR=/usr/local \> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${NCDIR}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \> > CPPFLAGS=-I${NCDIR}/include \LDFLAGS=-L${NCDIR}/lib ./configure > --prefix=/usr/local > $ gmake........../usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libnetcdf.a(attr.o): relocation > R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; > recompile with -fPIC > /usr/local/lib/libnetcdf.a: could not read symbols: Bad valuecollect2: ld > returned 1 exit statusgmake[3]: *** [libnetcdff.la] Error 1 > I'll be thankful if I hear from you. > SincerelyEhsan Taghizadeh > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: YOY-255588 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
