Installing ROMS on Mac - error compiling netCDF3 with gfortr

[ckerry]

Hi,
I am trying to install ROMS on a Mac following the directions at https://www.myroms.org/wiki/index.php/ROMS_Mac

I have downloaded netcdf-3.6.3.tar.gz and extracted it, then from the directory ~/src/netcdf-3.6.3 I execute
export FC=gfortran
export FFLAGS='-O3'
./configure --prefix=/opt/gfortran/serial/netcdf3

I get the following output, saying that Fortran could not compile .f90 files

I have followed all the instructions exactly and have installed the GNU Fortran Compiler. When I type 'which gfortran' I get '/usr/local/bin/gfortran'

Can anyone help me with why I am getting this error when I try to compile netCDF3 with gfortran...?

Thanks,
Colette

Please check the config.log file to see the actual error that is occurring and report back.

I think you need to set more than just FC. Here's what I used (for netcdf 4):

Code: Select all

configure FC=gfortran F77=gfortran F90=gfortran CXX=g++ --prefix=/u1/uaf/kate --enable-netcdf4 --enable-shared --with-hdf5=/u1/uaf/kate
