If I may chime in; I'm developing on OSX as well, and I have found that the version of hdf5 that is provided by OSX-specific package management systems (homebrew, macports, fink) would often not work with netcdf very well. Best to play it safe and build hdf5 by hand on the target machine as well. -Ward On 5/9/14, 12:20 PM, Russ Rew wrote: > New Staff Reply: NetCDF Install > > Hi Dan, > >> I am a systems administrator for CISL and I have a request to install >> NetCDF.
