Error when install NCO

[huangdzh@foxmail_com]

Dear all,

Is there anyone installed the NetCDF Operator (NCO) successfully?
I tried to install NCO on my HP PC, when enter the command line "make", an error turned up, as shown bellow. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !

The error seems to be related to nc_inq_format. Do you need to define NEED_NC_INQ_FORMAT=0 ? Maybe just removing that definition would work.

Dear NCO users:

I have installed NCO with out any error message but I am not sure if it is being installed correctly. I tried to run the NCO commands in command prompt but the commands are not recognized so I am not sure if there are some other ways to run NCO or I need to change environment settings. I am quite new to NCO and I am totally lost. I would really appreciate your help with this regard. Any documentation on NCO for beginners like me would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers,
Sami
