Chung-Lin, > Thanks again, Steve. I'll be using f90/f77 for readgeneral.f on a > SGI machine (or ifort on a Linux). What's Perl API? The UDUNITS-1 package can be told to build a Perl extension module. Because you only need the package for readgeneral.f, we can skip that step. Try the following: 1. Go to the top-level source-directory of the UDUNITS-1 package. 2. Execute the command "make distclean". Don't worry if it fails or fails to execute. 3. Set environment variables equivalent to the following: export PERL='' export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran 4. Execute the configure script. Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "configure.log". Look at the file. If a fatal error occurred, then send me the file and stop. 5. Execute the command "make". Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "make.log". Look at the file. If a fatal error occurred, then send me the file and stop. 6. Execute the command "make install". Redirect both the standard output and standard error streams to the file "install.log". Look at the file. If a fatal error occurred, then send me the file and stop. > I won't mind > having it. All I want is to be able to successfully access the NCEP > data.
