Re: fatal:ut_inv_calendar: Invalid specification string

I am sure that someone more knowledgeable than me will answer.

Please post the output from:

%> uname -a

%> gcc --version
---------------------------
Also,
Unidata is no longer supporting the internal codes that ut_calendar
and ut_inv_calendar are based on. We recommend that you use the
cd_calendar and cd_inv_calendar functions instead.
---------------------------
For the record, on my linux system

%> uname -a
Linux harmon.cgd.ucar.edu 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Wed Jun
1 11:12:25 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It works fine.
