Hi,

I am experiencing difficulty compiling netcdf.  Here is how I have compiled the 
software:

1. Compile zlib 1.2.5

 1184  CC=gcc ./configure --prefix=/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc
 1185  make
 1186  make install

2. Compile szip 2.1
 1200  ./configure --prefix=/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc
 1201  make
 1203  make install

3. Compile HD5

 1224  CC=/home/software/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpicc  ./configure 
--prefix=/home/software/hd5-1.8.7_gcc_openmpi --enable-parallel 
--enable-production --with-szlib=/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc/lib 
--with-zlib=/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc --disable-shared
 1225  make
 1226  make install

3. Compile NetCDF

 fc=mpif90 cxx=mpicxx CC=mpicc 
CPPFLAGS="-I/home/software/hd5-1.8.7_gcc_openmpi/include 
-I/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc/include -I/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc/include" 
LDFLAGS="-L/home/software/hd5-1.8.7_gcc_openmpi/lib 
-L/home/software/szip-2.1_gcc -L/home/software/zlib-1.2.5_gcc" ./configure  
--prefix=/home/software/netcdf-4.1.3
make

I receive the following error during the build:

Spefically:

relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a 
shared object; recompile with -fPIC

I am not sure why I am receiving this error from HD5.  Anyone have a good build 
recipe for this software they care to share?

Thanks,

Randall
