On Mac OS X, you can also use the fink system or the macports system to install a recent version of netCDF that includes ncdump. Either macports or fink provides an easy way to install the binary library and utilities without building from source. However building from source on Mac OS X is also fairly quick, especially if you don't need the a Fortran API, which is the case if you're only after ncdump. In that case you can just get the most recent source distribution ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.gz unpack it, and build and install it with these instructions: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: SBY-332951 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
