That just looks like a mismatch between how the Fortran-77 functions expect the corresponding C functions to be named (one trailing "_" character) and how they are actually named (two trailing "_" characters"). Perhaps the C library was compiled without the correct flag that determines this naming convention, such as -DpgiFortran or -DgFortran. Sorry, I'm unable to duplicate this problem. Building the netCDF Fortran library on MacOS requires that the Fortran compiler you use is compatible with the C compiler, and that the C library is built with correct flags to specify which conventions are used to call C functions from Fortran, as described in step 4 here, under the "Using Static Libraries" section: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html I've sometimes been able to build the netCDF Fortran libraries with parallel support by using the macports.org package named "netcdf-fortran", as follows: $ sudo port install netcdf-fortran +mpich but that uses only HDF5 parallel I/O, and didn't work when I tried it recently. You might send your question to the parallel-netcdf support email to see if they can help. --Russ > Best regards, > > Li > > ----------------------------------------- > Dr. Li Dong (??) > LASG, Institute of Atmospheric Physics > Chinese Academy of Sciences > P.O.
