[OS X] Re: problems with ferret on mac tiger

[Andy Jacobson]

Hi Detelina,

	Ufuk never got back to me on this issue, so I don't know how to  
resolve it.  I would start, as suggested in my reply below, by making  
sure that the netcdf library is working properly.  You might try  
asking Ufuk himself by emailing him at turuncu at be.itu.edu.tr.

	Please let me know if you find an answer to this problem by CCing  
your response to osx at tazman.princeton.edu

	Thanks,

		Andy
