[MINC-users] MINC 1.5 and 2.0.12

[conover]

Hi All,

When installing MINC 2.0.12 I encountered the following error when  
running './configure' :

checking for library netcdf... no
configure: error: cannot find required library netcdf

Upon "googling" the error message I found:

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's in /usr/local/mni/include, a path not normally searched by
the C compiler.  You need to tell the compiler to look there.

Re-run configure as follows

	./configure --with-build-path=/usr/local/mni --prefix=/usr/local/mni

Cheers,

When issuing the revised command I had success:

	./configure --with-build-path=/usr/local/mni --prefix=/usr/local/mni


Perhaps this trick should be included in the INSTALL file?

Regards,

-Kent
