Friends,

I tried to install ncdf package in ubuntu with the following command.

R CMD INSTALL
--configure-args="-with-netcdf_incdir=/apps/netcdf/4.0.1/gcc/include
-with-netcdf_libdir=/apps/netcdf/4.0.1/gcc/lib" ncdf_1.6.tar.gz

The installation was stopped throwing the following error. I tried to google
it but didnt find any solution. someone kindly write me what is going wrong.
