Error while installing NetCDF3.6.3 on macOS Mojave

#1 Unread post by paban23 »

Hello everyone,
I am new to ROMS and while I am trying to install ROMS on macOS Mojave, I followed the steps provided on WikiROMS at https://www.myroms.org/wiki/ROMS_Mac. I installed the Supporting Software [ Xcode, GNU Fortran Compiler(gfortran-4.2.3, GNU Make(make-3.8.1), Perl ] but while installing NetCDF3.6.3 I got an error message like --- Error checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"... configure: error: Could not link conftestf.o and conftest.o--- in the ./configure step. Please help. If any other information is needed please let me know. Thank You.

Solved, I installed gcc using brew and it solved the problem( encryption problem my gfortran and netcdf were of different encryption).
