Using "sudo make install" was correct. You usually want to install the netCDF libraries, include files, and programs in a place where other programs and users can make use of them. What problems do other programs that depend on netCDF develop? For example, do such programs depend on a shared netCDF library that you have overwritten with the new installation? In that case, you may have to recompile and relink the programs to use the new libraries. This could be necessary if, for example, the new libraries were compiled using a different programming model than the old libraries, for example 64-bit pointers instead of 32-bit pointers. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DND-672007 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
