Hi Roy,

1.  Install fink

I already use it, that's where g95 came from.. and one of the netcdf
attempts.

2,  fink install netcdf-gfortran  (or fink install netcdf-g95)

Failed: no package found for specification 'netcdf-gfortran'!
Failed: no package found for specification 'netcdf-g95'!

I'll assume, then, that you meant to use fink to install those
separately?

Well if I install netcdf first, I can't be sure which compiler it
will build the fortran libraries for.. so I must add that first?

Can't install gfortran with fink, so (re-) installed g77 (and g95 of
course) with fink. Rehashed. Installed fink netcdf again.

No change:

[lea:Working/programs/netcdf_sandbox] ianharri% f77 -o simple_xy_wr
simple_xy_wr.f
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_nf_close__
_nf_create__
_nf_def_dim__
_nf_def_var__
_nf_enddef__
_nf_put_var_int__
_nf_strerror__
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Hi,

I've resubbed after a long absence, because I'm trying to get the

NetCDF libraries (including those for F77 and F90) installed on a Mac

(2xG5 PowerPc Processors, OS 10.4.10).

The problem is that, when I try the first f77 test program
('simple_xy_wr.f'), the compilation fails with the familiar
underscore-laden symbol errors.

I've tried downloading the binaries, and compiling from source. I've
tried all combinations of gfortran and g77 for both NetCDF install

and test compile. I've played with the g95 -no_second_underscore (and

other!) options. I've spent two days on it so far and I'm going
quietly mad..

Has anyone managed to get the NetCDF libraries (pref. 3.6.2 but by
now I'll settle for anything) working on OS X? Is there a foolproof
guide anywhere?

I've looked at the thread earlier this year but it doesn't seem to
help, sorry.

System, etc details:

Mac OS X 10.4.10
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5
1 GB DDR SDRAM
g77  - not currently installed (has been tried)
gfortran version GCC 4.0.2

Cheers
