Hi, 

    I am trying to compile netcdf here. Well, the compilation part despite the 
library troubles, goes well. After the compiling is complete, I can’t ever 
‘make check’ as at least one of the sites NetCDF tries to fetch are 
unresponsive. The link in question is 
“http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/testdods/coads_climatology.nc”;; 
it always return bad request, giving a body which gives an error context to 
‘make check’ of:

context: <html^><head><title>Apache Tomcat/6.0.32 - Error 
report</title><style><!--H1 
{font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;}

</head><body><h1>HTTP Status 404 - /dods/dts/test.06.dds</h1><HR size="1" 
noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b>

(/dods/dts/test.06.dds) is not available.</u></p><HR size="1" 
noshade="noshade"><h3>Apache Tomcat/6.0.32</h3></body></html>

    This results in the following errors in ‘make check’ (as it expected a .nc 
file instead of that HTML code):
syntax error, unexpected SCAN_WORD, expecting SCAN_ATTR or SCAN_DATASET or 
SCAN_ERROR
Error: NetCDF: Malformed or inaccessible DAP DDS
FAIL: test_vara

    Maybe if there were an offline version of the files and means for the check 
play only offline tests, this could be better. Also, ou ‘cute’ NOC puts the 
supercomputing environment without internet access so such checks can never be 
done if we do a personal install on these systems.

Best regards,
