Hello, R is not finding the netcdf library that you compiled and, presumably, installed. If you installed the netcdf library in a standard place, such as /usr/local/lib, it would probably be found by default. If you don't want to (or can't) install in a standard location, the easiest fix is to add the location where you installed the netcdf library to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable. For example, if the netcdf libary is in /opt/sw/netcdf/lib, then you'd add that directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Hope that helps, --Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------- David W.
