[netcdfgroup] questions about how to install the stable netcdf software into my linux platforms

Hello netcdfgroup,

       Nowadays, I want to install netcdf into my linux platform open-suse11.2. 
I find the source link in unidata 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/index.jsp , but I find there is 
not only version C but version F, which both will be used by my future task. 
and how can I get the installation software containing both those version and 
how can I install the software if it is found? can you give me hand?

       BTW, why netcdf libraries is independent of netcdf source code? I must 
install them separately ? 


best regards,
yours ever 
alex
