[RegCNET] How to install Netcdf4

[bixq]

Dear all:

Could someone please tell us the exact steps to install NetCDF4 ?

How to install NetCDF4 with HDF5 support ?

Firstly, let me start with what I knew, I do need the help for
the following step 4a and 4b, or the better ways for step 1-3
is also welcome.

Step 0: I have Mandriva Linux, and with Intel FORTRAN/C++ and openmpi 
installed. I use bash.

Step 1: install szip

     wget ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.1/src/szip-2.1.tar.gz
     tar zxvf szip-2.1.tar.gz
     cd szip-2.1
     export CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort
            CFLAGS='-O3 -xP -ip'
            CXXFLAGS='-O3 -xP -ip'
            FFLAGS='-O3 -xP -ip'
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/szip-2.1
     make
     make check
     make install

Step 2: install zlib

     wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
     tar zxvf zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
     cd zlib-1.2.5
     export CC=icc CFLAGS='-O3 -xP -ip'
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.5
     make
     make check
     make install
     (the package has small problem, I have to
          mkdir /usr/local/zlib-1.2.5/include
          cp zlib.h zconf.h /usr/local/zlib-1.2.5/include )

Step 3: install HDF5

     wget http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.5-patch1.tar.gz
     tar zxvf hdf5-1.8.5-patch1.tar.gz
     cd hdf5-1.8.5-patch1
     export CC=icc F9X=ifort CXX=icpc
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.5
                 --enable-fortran
                 --enable-cxx
     make
     make check
     make install

Step 4a: install NetCDF4

     wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.gz
     tar zxvf netcdf.tar.gz

     I failed to do the rest things.
     (Fortunately, I have one banary package to use right now.)

Step 4b: install NetCDF4 with HDF5 support



It's my hope that your expert reply to this subject could facilitate
others to use regcm4.0 (and the future RegCM version).

Thanks in advance !
