Hello, I am not familiar with Trilinos, but it sounds like you are not properly linking against the netCDF library when compiling Trilinos. You might contact the Trilinos development team/support and see if they can provide you with any help in compiling their software, as it sounds like the issue is with the build and not netCDF itself. I'm sorry we can't provide more immediate help, have a great day, -Ward > Hello, > > My name is Felipe, I do research in geophysics. > > I am currently installing Trilinos in my local cluster. > > when compiling, I get errors like these > > ex_utils.c:(.text+0x1f83): undefined reference to `nc_get_var_int' > > ex_copy.c:(.text+0x1d0b): undefined reference to `nc_def_dim' > > investigating, I learned that they are due to bad linking or referencing > to NetCDF. > > I do have NetDCF installed, netcdf-c-4.7.3. > > when building Trilinos, I do: > > -DTPL_Netcdf_LIBRARIES='/home/Felipe/BIGSOFTWARE/netcdf-c-4.7.3' > DNetcdf_INCLUDE_DIRS='/home/Felipe/BIGSOFTWARE/netcdf-c-4.7.3' > > and all good, it builds.
