20040119: NetCDF failed to build on redhat 8.

Jon,

>I can't get NetCDF to build on what I guess is a pretty standard system, 
>so hopefully nothing serious.  Here are the things you asked for (apart 
>from the test.log and install.log) :

In looking through the logging information you provided, I see that you
most likely did not define one or more Unix environment variables that
are needed.  To build the netCDF under Linux, you need to define
several environment variables _before_ you run configure.

The variables you need to define are listed in our web site:

Installing netCDF
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/INSTALL.html

In particular, please review the example settings under Linux.
The cause of the error that is stopping your build:

  make[2]: Entering directory
  `/home/jon/src/misc/NetCDF/netcdf-3.5.0/src/fortran'
  c89 -c -O -I../libsrc  -DNDEBUG fort-attio.c
  In file included from ncfortran.h:13,
                   from fort-attio.c:6:
  cfortran.h:134:3: #error "cfortran.h:  Can't find your environment
  among:    - MIPS cc and f77 2.0. (e.g. Silicon Graphics, DECstations,
  ...)         - IBM AIX XL C and FORTRAN Compiler/6000 Version
  01.01.0000.0000         - VAX   VMS CC 3.1 and FORTRAN
  5.4.                                      - Alpha VMS DEC C 1.3 and DEC
  FORTRAN 6.0.                               - Alpha OSF DEC C and DEC
  Fortran for OSF/1 AXP Version 1.2              - Apollo DomainOS 10.2
  (sys5.3) with f77 10.7 and cc 6.7.

is the lack of definition of the -Df2cFortran macro in your CPPFLAGS
environment variable.

If you are using the GNU C and Fortran compilers that come with
RedHat 9 Linux, the environment variables you need to set will
look like:

    CC=/usr/bin/gcc
    CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran'
    CFLAGS=-O
    FC=/usr/bin/g77
    FFLAGS='-O -Wno-globals'
    CXX=/usr/bin/g++

The above-referenced web page also has a link to information on
using the Intel Fortran compiler.  Also, our inquiry tracking system
has several entries on use of the Intel compilers in building the
netCDF.  Please check out:

netCDF support email archive
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghnetcdf.html

and search for Linux and/or intel.

Remember that after you define the environment variables, you will
need to run 'make distclean' before you rerun 'configure'.

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas
