Summary of Issue

I get the following error in the ctest:

56/150 Test #56: nc_test4_tst_files ...............***Failed 0.87 sec

and when I run make install I get the following error:

Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "DEBUG"
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (file):
file cannot create directory: /usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig. Maybe need
administrative privileges.

make: *** [install] Error 1
[rojinsafavi@citrisdance ~/netcdf-c]$

I do not have root access. Is there anyway I get install netcdf without a root access?

Thanks!

As far as the installation goes, you will need to specify a location you have access to by passing the --prefix=[path] option to configure. Regarding the test failure, can you send the config.log and test-suite.log files to [email protected]? Thanks! Closing out this issue, but please reference it in your email.
