Colin, I actually did find a way to build 4.1.3 on modern OSX systems, but it requires inserting an additional statement in one of the source files, as described here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/known_problems.html#clang-ncgen3 Assuming you've got HDF5 installed in $H5DIR, you can then configure with --disable-dap-remote-tests, build, and install: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${H5DIR}/lib CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include" LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib" ./configure --prefix="${NCDIR}" --disable-dap-remote-tests && make all && make check && make install However, getting a new version is preferred, with three years of bug fixes and other improvements ... --Russ > Both Russ and I have tried compiling 4.1.3 on our OSX workstations and also > fail to get netcdf to build.
