[MINC-users] installation problem with N3 on Linux (red hat 9)

[siamak Ardekani]

Dear Steve,

Thank you for the reply. I installed blas/lapack and now the
configuration recognize the library. However, now it complains about
netcdf library. I used the rpm file provided at
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/software/distribution to install the netcdf
and MINC.

 
[root@localhost MNI_N3]# rpm -qpl netcdf-3.5.0-linux-2.4-intel.rpm
/usr/local/mni/bin
/usr/local/mni/bin/ncdump
/usr/local/mni/bin/ncgen
/usr/local/mni/include
/usr/local/mni/include/netcdf.h
/usr/local/mni/lib
/usr/local/mni/lib/libnetcdf.a
/usr/local/mni/man
/usr/local/mni/man/man1
/usr/local/mni/man/man1/ncdump.1
/usr/local/mni/man/man1/ncgen.1
/usr/local/mni/man/man3
/usr/local/mni/man/man3/netcdf.3


when I launch configure:


[root@localhost N3]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mni
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

configure: error: cannot find required library netcdf
[root@localhost N3]#


looking at config.log :



configure:6803: /usr/bin/cc -o conftest -O -Df2cFortran -DNDEBUG 
conftest.c -lm
 -lEBTKS -lm  >&5
configure:6809: $? = 0

configure:6818: test -s conftest
configure:6821: $? = 0

|
| #endif

| {
| int i = ncopen("",0);
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:6897: result: no
configure:6900: error: cannot find required library netcdf



I was wondering why it complains about netcdf.h where it is already
installed in the correct location?

Thanks,

Siamak
