nf-config --libdir points to wrong directory

- netcdf-fortran 4.6.0
- Rhel8 amd64
When building netcdf-fortran with cmake the installation directory of the library will be at $LIBDIR/lib64, although the nf-config configuration assumes the installation directoy is $LIBDIR/lib (withouth the necessary 64 at the end). I believe https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/GNUInstallDirs.html#module:GNUInstallDirs can be used to set the correct directory.
Thanks!
I have the same issue but nf-config is pointing to lib rather than lib64. Not sure how I can tackle this. Let me know if you need more information from my side.
Thanks for the ping on this; I should be able to make this change pretty easily for cmake builds. The same change for autoconf-based builds is also probably pretty easy, I just need to figure out what it is. Thanks!
I know this is quite an old issue, but what version of netcdf-fortran is being used? nf-config does not appear to have a --libdir argument, which seems like an oversight. Does nf-config --flibs demonstrate the same issue?
Correct, I'm using netcdf-fortran 4.6.2-development (bleeding-edge version from the GitHub repository, commit 5f02e6a). The flag in my case is --flibs that points to /path/to/lib rather than /path/to/lib64 that I instruct explicitly using -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/path/to/.local/lib64 in addition to -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/.local/
Thanks! I think I have a fix, I'm testing now.
This should hopefully be corrected now. We're working on getting netCDF-C v4.9.3 out ASAP, after which we'll try to get netcdf-fortran v4.6.2 out right afterwards.
I'll give it a quick test and let you know if everything works out fine on my end.
