[netCDFPerl #DKR-119346]: netCDF Perl Interface - can't get netCDF Perl to make with Perl 5.8.8

["Unidata netCDF Perl Support" <support-netcdf-perl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

> Thanks, I do know the installation works fine with 5.8.6.  The problem is that if I go back to 5.8.6 I think there will be other things that no longer work (plus, I'm not sure I can go back cleanly to 5.8.6).  So what I'd really like is to know if anyone has successfully installed with 5.8.8 on 10.4.

I'm not aware of anyone who has or who might have installed
the netCDF-Perl package under perl 5.8.8.  You might try posting
an inquiry to the netCDF mailing-list <netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

> If that path doesn't work out, I'd be willing to try reverting to 5.8.6, if there are clear instructions somewhere for doing so.

I'm not a perl expert; I don't know if such reverting instructions
exist.

Based on some Googling, please try the following: 1) go into
the "perl/" subdirectory; 2) edit the file "Makefile": change
"-undefined dynamic_lookup" to "-Udynamic_lookup"; 3) execute
the command "make clean"; 4) execute the command "make"; and
5) execute the command "make test".

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
