I haven't tried either fink or macports, and usually I am able to install most software with the pretty standard 'configure, make, make install' and perhaps even a little bit of jigging and poking. PDL is quite easy as well, except, some of its dependencies which are beastly difficult or impossible on a Mac (HDF5, PLplot, PGPlot, come to mind). That said, this NetCDF business was particularly vexing. I think I might have had some hand in it as well. I upgraded Mac OS X from 10.5 to 10.6, and also decided to upgrade Perl from 5.10 to 5.12.1. I think, in the process, I ended up with two netcdf installs, and the previous one, the one remaining over from the 32-bit days, kept on getting picked up by PDL-NetCDF. I got rid of all the old detritus, and was able to install PDL-NetCDF correctly. So, there was my own error, but that doesn't explain nor excuse the ridiculousness of failing because I don't have a proper TeX installation. Also, I had to disable both HDF5 and Fortran via configure. Now I have PDL-NetCDF working, and it is adequate enough to read and extract values from the netcdf data files I have. All I want to do is get the data out and insert them into a database, and then, hopefully, I won't have to deal with NetCDF for a very, very long time. > These should provide the ideal > infrastructure to get such packages working.
