Building NetCDF with Classic Library Only

It is possible to build the netCDF C libraries and utilities so that only the netCDF classic and 64-bit offset formats are supported, or the remote data access client is not built.

(See The netCDF File Format) for more information about the netCDF format variants. See the netCDF-DAP site for more information about remote client access to data on OPeNDAP servers.)

To build without support for the netCDF-4 formats or the additional netCDF-4 functions, but with remote access, use:

./configure --prefix=/home/ed/local --disable-netcdf-4
make check install

(Replace ``/home/ed/local'' with the name of the directory where netCDF is to be installed.)

Starting with version 4.1.1 the netCDF C libraries and utilities have supported remote data access, using the OPeNDAP protocols. To build with full support for netCDF-4 APIs and format but without remote client access, use:

./configure --prefix=/home/ed/local --disable-dap
make check install

To build without netCDF-4 support or remote client access, use:

./configure --prefix=/home/ed/local --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap
make check install

If you get the message that netCDF installed correctly, then you are done!
