Russ,

This is an FYI.  All that is needed is a forw to bitbucket and CC to
support-netcdf.

Dear Paquita Zuidema,

While I'm not the maintainer of the netCDF software, I do build and
install it for our local users at NCAR.  I'm not sure why the
"typesizes.mod" file doesn't get installed automatically.  I just
ended up copying it over myself, to the same directory that it
installed "netcdf.mod".  It should be in the directory "src/f90" after
you build netCDF.  Please note that in some cases the filename might
be in uppercase, like "TYPESIZES.MOD".

Which website were you trying it from?  I usually go to:

   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

and then click on the link to "a compressed tar file" that's in that
first paragraph.  I just tried it, and it worked for me.  You might
need to right click on the link and then select the "Save link as"
option to download it.

But, come to think of it, I don't know which version this is.  To make
sure you are getting 3.5.1-beta, you might try going directory to the
ftp site at:

   ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf

and there you should see the "netcdf-3.5.1-beta.tar.Z" file, which is
downloadable.

I will CC the netCDF folks on your inquiries, in case they have some
wisdom on the "typesizes.mod" file and why it doesn't get installed
automatically.

Cheers,

--Mary
