[CIG-SHORT] the netcdf option in pylith installer

[Hongfeng Yang]

Hi all,

I have been running the pylith installer to build pylith on my linux 
workstation. But I failed in building netcdf4.1.1 after the 
configuration. It seems to relate to the fortran compiler and/or 
libraries. Error message is the following:

libtool: link: gfortran -shared  .libs/fort-attio.o .libs/fort-control.o

../f90/.libs/libnetcdff90.a(netcdf.o): could not read symbols: Bad value

I have tried gfortran and ifort as the fortran compiler. Both of them 
give the same error.

Have anyone experienced this kind of error in building pylith?

My OS is Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks,
