[pnetcdf-devel] [parallel-netcdf] #31: Problem installing pnetcdf on 64 bit Ubuntu machine with intel compilers

[Wei-keng Liao]

Hi, Steve

The error you encountered is actually a bug in Makefile.in.
The file pnetcdf_pc should be in DIST_GARBAGE, not GARBAGE.
I have committed a fix to the PnetCDF repo. Below is a patch.
Thanks for your testing. Please let me know if the patch works
for you and if you have further questions.

It now completes the build and the two tests (make check and make ptest). When I ran make install it appears to run except for the last few steps where it says
