[netCDF #PVH-773453]: installation problems

Hi Stefania,

Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your question ...

The log shows several of the following errors in trying to compile a
test C program and test Fortran program and trying to link them
together, using g77 as the Fortran compiler:

  configure:24371: checking if Fortran "integer" is C "long"
  configure:24381: gcc -c  -g -O2 conftest.c
  configure:24384: $? = 0
  configure:24387: g77 -g -O2 -c conftestf.f
  configure:24390: $? = 0
  configure:24393: g77 -o conftest -g -O2  conftestf.o conftest.o  
  configure:24396: $? = 0
  configure:24399: ./conftest
  ld.so.1: conftest: fatal: libg2c.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
  ./configure: line 24400:  1388 Killed                  ./conftest
  configure:24402: $? = 137
  configure:24415: result: no

It looks like g77 could link the conftest program OK, but when it was
run, it needed the shared library libg2c.so, which was not found.  The
libg2c library is a runtime library needed by programs linked by the
g77 compiler, so the fact that it's missing means there's something
wrong with your g77 installation.  libg2c.so.0 should have been
installed somewhere g77 could find it when g77 was installed.

The newer GNU gfortran compiler doesn't require this runtime library,
but would have to be used with a newer version 4.x gcc compiler.

If you don't want the Fortran-77 netCDF interface, you could configure
with --disable-fortran, but if you need the Fortran API, you'll need a
working Fortran compiler ...

You can also try building netCDF-3 by using the latest released
version of netCDF (4.1.1) with --disable-netcdf-4, but you will still
need a Fortran compiler to build and test the Fortran API.
