Re: netcdf library, netcdf.inc netcdf.h etc

[Jaison Kurian <jaison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Takaya Namba,
                  Ferret distribution doesn't includes the NetCDF 
library/include files. If you wish to link your programs (c/fortran)
with NetCDF library, you have to install it seperately. You can get 
this done in two ways
         
 1. get the source files from unidata site :
        http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ 
    take the netcdf-3.5.1.tar.Z under the "What's New?" section.
    
    When you uncompress & untar this source file, you can see 
     "INSTALL.html" in netcdf-3.5.1/src directory. Have look at
    Linux under "Tested Systems" to set the environmental variables
    neccessary for the installation (check manually wether all 
    compilers are available on your machine using "which" command:
       [user@machine]$ which gcc
       [user@machine]$ which f77 ...and so on)
    Please note that for setting the environment variables you have to
    use "setenv" if you are using csh/tcsh shell and "export" if you
    are using "bash" shell..like
   
    [user@machine]$ setenv setenv FFLAGS '-O -w'  <== csh/tcsh
    [user@machine]# export FFLAGS='-O -w'         <== bash 

    after setting all the environment variables (from netcdf-3.5.1/src 
    directory)

         [user@machine]$ ./configure 
         [user@machine]$ make
         [user@machine]$ make test
         [user@machine]$ make install
         [user@machine]$ make clean

   If everything goes fine, then give the full path to netcdf "bin" in 
   /etc/csh.cshrc or other respective locations.

   Now you will have all include and lib files under the respective 
   directories in netcdf-3.5.1.

  2. Get the rpm file (i don't have any experience with this..) from

   http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=netcdf-devel
   OR
 http://rpmfind.rediris.es/rpm2html/mandrake-9.2/netcdf-devel-3.5.0-4mdk.i586.htm

   and install it..

       [user@machine]$ rpm -ivh netcdf-devel-3.5.0-4mdk.i586.rpm

  On my Red-Hat linux machine, i installed netcdf-3.5.1 as in the 1st 
  method successfully.

 Hope This Helps

 With Regards 

 Jaison
