[MMTK] building MMTK on a 64-bit FEDORA 2 machine

[Fernandez-Alonso, F (Felix)]

Dear all,

 

I am trying to install MMTK on a 64-bit FEDORA 2 machine but thus far I
cannot build Scientific Python with the NetCDF library. An extract from the
build of Scientific Python is given below. The only two NetCDF rpms for my
machine of which I am aware give identical results
(netcdf-3.5.1-1.rhfc2.mr.x86_64.rpm, netcdf-3.5.1-0.fdr.0.x86_64.rpm).

 

The error shown below seems to indicate that the only way out of this is to
recompile NetCDF from source. Before I venture into that option I am hoping
somebody out there might have a suggestion about the best way to proceed.

 

Many thanks,

 

Felix
