netcdf in grads-2.0a4

[Eric Altshuler]

Dear Dr. Chang,

You can build multiple netcdf installations using different compilers, just put them in different directories (--prefix argument to configure script for netcdf). I have one netcdf build using ifort/icc and another using gfortran/gcc. Then, when building other codes that use netcdf, you can specify the path to the netcdf build you want to use (usually through a NETCDF environment variable or by explicitly specifying the lib and include paths).

Subject: netcdf in grads-2.0a4

Hello,
            I tried to compile grads-2.0a4 on my opteron server
running Suse 10.3.  But the configure refused to include netcdf
support with following messages:

Checking in system locations for libraries to support netcdf ...
checking for udunits.h... (cached) yes
checking for utInit in -ludunits... (cached) yes
checking for nc_open in -lnetcdf... no
checking for netcdf.h with compiler... yes
checking for netcdf.h with preprocessor... yes
checking for netcdf 3 interface... yes
- netcdf disabled


As you can see the program can find netcdf lib.  But it can't find
'nc_open'.   I use gcc to compile grads but my netcdf was compile
with icc.  Will this cause problem?  How can I fix it?  I need netcdf
compiled by icc for other applications.
