Hi! I have a problem to install those program.
OS : Fedora 7
PGI 7.1.6 compiler

and I set the environment like this.

setenv FC pgf90
setenv F77 pgf77
setenv F90 pgf90
setenv CC pgcc
setenv CXX pgCC
setenv CFLAGS “-O2 -Msignextend -V”
setenv FFLAGS “-O2 -w -V”
setenv CPPFLAGS “-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran”

NCARG

I think the CFLAG and FCFLACG make some error. How can I edit?
Thank you

Yongjoo CHOI,

PGC-W-0156-Type not specified, 'int' assumed (closure.c: 12)

Without looking at the source, I’m guessing that the author of this code did not specifiy the return type of a function. Hence the compiler is just warning you that it’s using the default value of “int”. Most likely it’s safe to ignore but if you have concerns, you should ask the author.

As for NETCDF, the configure script will go through a seris of checks, not all of which are expected to pass. For example, PGI’s flag to check version information is “-V”. So the test of “–version” is expected to fail.

Did your configure complete succesfully? If not, what version of NetCDF are you using? I don’t see where 4.0 or 3.6.2 check for the C compiler version nor am I able to recreate the “choke” error.

Hope this helps,
Mat
