error: cannot compute sizeof (off_t)

[Letitia]

An error occurred while configuring netcdf-fortran-4.5.3 installation：
checking size of off_t... configure: error: in `/CESM/software/netcdf-fortran-4.5.3':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (off_t)
See `config.log' for more details


I don't know how to solve this problem,hope to get the answer.

This looks similar to

As noted there, netcdf-fortran requires an existing netcdf-c installation. If you continue to have trouble building netcdf, Unidata can provide more support than we can here: Unidata | NetCDF
