Hi Steve, I'm glad you were able to find the source code files. Regarding the errors you're seeing below, it appears that libnetcdf (the C library) is not on your system LD_LIBRARY_PATH; this is not uncommon on newer linux systems using `/usr/local/lib` as a location, or on systems where the C library is in a non-standard location. You will need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable to reflect the location containing libnetcdf.so. Because this error is occurring at runtime and not during compilation, I presume your CFLAGS and LDFLAGS are set correctly to find libnetcdf.so in the first place, otherwise you would be seeing an error during `make`. If you can provide your `config.log` I will try to use it to provide a specific LD_LIBRARY_PATH value, but it should be pretty straightforward to figure out; it will be the specific location containing libnetcdf.so. I hope this helps, have a great day, -Ward > Hi, > > My build of netcdf-fortran went perfectly.
