Hello, I'm not familiar with FAN, but it appears there is a problem of some sort in the netcdf.h file. It looks like you are running a pretty old version of netCDF-C. I would suggest updating to 4.5.0 or later; ideally, you would update to the latest release, 4.6.1, available from https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases. When you installed netCDF-C, did you run 'make check' to see if the tests completed successfully? -Ward > Hi Team, > > Get below error while I try to install FAN.
