Ferret 7.4.2 is primarily a bug-fix release.

Release notes found at https://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/release-notes/version-742-release-notes

The pre-built distributions given here contain the extracted contents of both fer_environment.tar.gz and fer_executables.tar.gz tar files associated with older releases of Ferret. After extracting the contents of the appropriate tar file, run the bin/Finstall script found in the extracted directory with option 2 (skip option 1, it has already been done). The pre-built distribution files do include the traditional fer_environment.tar.gz and fer_executables.tar.gz for those who wish to use these files. These files just duplicate other files already in the pre-built distribution.

Linux:

The distribution ferret-7.4.2-RHEL7-64.tar.gz was build on a RedHat Enterprise Linux v7.5 system and include HDF5-1.8.18 and NetCDF-4.4.1.1. This distribution can be used for newer 64-bit Linux systems.

The distribution ferret-7.4.2-RHEL6-64.tar.gz was build on a RedHat Enterprise Linux v6.9 system and include HDF5-1.8.18 and NetCDF-4.4.1.1. This distribution should be used for older 64-bit Linux systems, or with newer 64-bit Linux systems with support for legacy libraries.

Mac OS X:

The distribution ferret-7.4.2-MacOSX.tar.gz was built on an OS X El Capitan (10.11.6) system and include HDF5 (v1.10.2) and NetCDF (v4.6.1). The two dynamic libraries, libgcc_s.1.dylib and libquadmath.0.dylib, needed by this executable are also included in the distribution. The path to these dynamic libraries are given in the environment variable DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH assigned in the ferret_paths.sh and ferret_paths.csh scripts. (Alternatively, one can correct the full-path name of these dynamic libraries recorded in the ferret_v7.42 executable to that for your system using the install_name_tool command.) The XQuartz X-Windows package for Mac OS X is also required for Ferret displayed plots (see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201341 and https://www.xquartz.org/ for more information).
