See INSTALL for generic installation instructions.

		Shared or Static libraries?
		---------------------------

By default, only a static version (i.e. libminc.a) will be produced.
A shared version of the library may be enabled using the configure
flag "--enabled-shared".  See also "--disable-static".


		Finding NetCDF
		--------------

The NetCDF library 

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

must be built and installed before you can build MINC.  

Teaching MINC to find the NetCDF library depends on where
the latter is installed.  There are three cases.

1. NetCDF may be installed in a location where the compiler can find
it.  If so, you have nothing to do.

2. Third-party libraries are commonly installed such that the headers
live in /usr/local/include and the library file lives in
/usr/local/include.  The prefix may be something else; "/opt" is
common, too.  If this is the case, you should pass the argument
"--build-path=/usr/local" (substitute appropriate prefix) to
configure.

3. Otherwise, you need to pass appropriate -I and -L flags to
configure using something like 

    ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/a/b/c" LDFLAGS="-L/d/e/f"



		FORTRAN Interface
		-----------------

The fortran interface is no longer built.

The FORTRAN interface is no longer maintained.  Should you need it,
all the sources and the old Makefiles are located in the fortran
directory.  Please let us know of your success should you get it
to build.

The minc fortran interface is only supported under irix.
