[netCDF #OOJ-683540]: Building NetCDF with szlib



Hi Thorwald,

If you've successfully built and installed the netCDF C library from the 
snapshot, 
getting the Fortran libraries is pretty easy.  Just download the (now separate)
netCDF Fortran release from here:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-fortran-4.2.tar.gz

and run the configure script, specifying with LDFLAGS or LD_LIBRARY_PATH where 
the
C netCDF library is installed.  By giving a --prefix option to the configure 
script, you can specify where the Fortran libraries should be installed, if 
/usr/local isn't right:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure 
--prefix=/where/ever/...

Then run "make check" and "make install" to install the Fortran libraries.  

To link Fortran applications, you will need something like -L/usr/inlcude 
-lnetcdff -lnetcdf
to specify the separate netCDFFortran library before the netCDF C library.
