Hi Nicolas,

Some folks who package netCDF do a lousy job because they only build the
C interface and ignore the Fortran interface.  That could be what you're
encountering.

If you use Fedora Core 4 Linux, then it comes (by default!) with a very
convenient set of netCDF and related packages that can be installed with
the amazingly simple command:

  [become root then:]
  yum install netcdf netcdf-devel

and MITgcm (with MNC and netCDF) will "just work" with the included GCC
compiler.  Very convenient!

And Fedora Core 4 also provides:

  yum install udunits ncview nco cdo hdf hdf-devel hdf5 hdf5-devel

along with gobs of other useful packages.  And yes, Fedora Core 4 fully
supports the AMD64 (aka: x86_64) architecture.
