Problems installing NCO.3.9.5 (make)

[Bladé Ileana]

Hello

I have been trying to install nco-3.9.5 on my Sun workstation (solaris 2.8) for the past few days unsuccessfully. My last successfull install was version 2.9. I have had problems installing each new version of nco and have previously given up but now I really need the new operators.

I run .configure, which sort of works (at least it says "configure:24321: Good news: Simple program compiles and links to libnetcdf.a with default compiler flags), even though it also gives me a bunch of "fatal errors" related to a conftest.c (but so do the config.log examples for sparc in the nco website, so it looks like I can ignore this)

Then I tryto run make. I first tried with cc and got some syntax errors, so  I installed gcc. Now the errors are different and have to do with an "incomplete type" in my system files.

I am at my wit's end. Could you please give me some indication as to how to fix this?

Thanks so much

Ileana Bladé

without access to a solaris system, i can't tell why it's breaking.
see if this configure method helps:

CPPFLAGS='-UHAVE_GETRUSAGE' ./configure ...

[Bladé Ileana]

Thanks so much for your quick reply. Unfortunately it did not work.

(see output at the end)

here are the piece of the include file that make it break
(resource.h) . Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you figure out how to fix this.

Thanks a ton

[Charlie Zender]

try inserting the line

# include <sys/time.h> /* machine time (needed by Mac OS X for struct rusage) */

just ahead of the line

#include <sys/resource.h> /* Resource usage and limits */

in the file nco/src/nco/nco_mmr.h

then re-run your old configure command and make

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I still get the same error:

sorry I forgot the last lines of the make output

(the warning about the "incomplete token" disappears if I don't use the option CPPFLAGS='-UHAVE_GETRUSAGE' ,
but the ru_time error doesn't).
