Hello, I'm kind of new using Linux (I have Fedora 14 on 64 bits) and I have few experience programming.
However, I'm trying install the netCDF fortran libraries, but I have some troubles.
Next are the steps I tried:

1) I downloaded netcdf-fortran-4.2, untar, and then ./configure:

[root@cm06 netcdf-fortran-4.2]# ./configure
configure: netCDF-Fortran 4.2
.
.
.
configure: checking types, headers, and functions
checking netcdf.h usability... no
checking netcdf.h presence... no
checking for netcdf.h... no
configure: error: netcdf.h could not be found. Please set CPPFLAGS.

2) I downloaded netcdf-4.3.22, untar, and then ./configure:

[root@cm06 netcdf-4.3.2]# ./configure
.
.
.
checking for library containing deflate... no
configure: error: Can't find or link to the z library. Turn off netCDF-4 and opendap with --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap, or see config.log for errors.

What could I do?
Could anybody help me? some hint? thanks in advanced!!

Ok John VV

Thank you very much.
I'll change my fedora version

Best regards!

Finally I installed Fedora 20 (64 bits), I updated the system, and then I did:

(1) Install C-compiler:
# yum install gcc-c++

(2) Install gfortran:
$ su -c "yum install gcc-gfortran"

(3) Download Fortran compiler (g95-x86-linux.tgz) from www.g95.org/ and:
# tar -zxvf g95-x86-linux.tgz
# ln -s $PWD/g95-install/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g95 /usr/bin/g95

(4) Instal netCDF-C libraries

$ sudo yum install netcdf.x86_64
$ sudo yum install netcdf-devel.x86_64

(5) Download netcdf-fortran-4.4.0.tar.gz from unidata web page and:
# tar -zxvf g95-x86-linux.tgz
# ./configure
# make check
# make install

Apparently everything went fine.

Best regards
