[netcdfgroup] NetCDF on OS X

[Ian Harris]

Hi,

I've resubbed after a long absence, because I'm trying to get the  
NetCDF libraries (including those for F77 and F90) installed on a Mac  
(2xG5 PowerPc Processors, OS 10.4.10).

The problem is that, when I try the first f77 test program  
('simple_xy_wr.f'), the compilation fails with the familiar  
underscore-laden symbol errors.

I've tried downloading the binaries, and compiling from source. I've  
tried all combinations of gfortran and g77 for both NetCDF install  
and test compile. I've played with the g95 -no_second_underscore (and  
other!) options. I've spent two days on it so far and I'm going  
quietly mad..

Has anyone managed to get the NetCDF libraries (pref. 3.6.2 but by  
now I'll settle for anything) working on OS X? Is there a foolproof  
guide anywhere?

I've looked at the thread earlier this year but it doesn't seem to  
help, sorry.

System, etc details:

Mac OS X 10.4.10
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5
1 GB DDR SDRAM
g77  - not currently installed (has been tried)
gfortran version GCC 4.0.2

Cheers
