CKO


Installing the NetCDF Library

On some of the computer systems used in the CKO, the NetCDF library is not available in a standard location. On these systems you have to install your own copy of the library. This page contains instructions on how to do this.

Teras at SARA Download and unpack the NetCDF distribution from the UNIDATA web site. Then enter the following commands when you are using a Bourne shell (sh) or derived shell (ksh,bash):
	cd netcdf-3.5.0/src
	CC=cc ./configure --prefix=$HOME
	make
	make check
	make install
or when you are using a C shell look-a-like: 
	cd netcdf-3.5.0/src
	env CC=cc ./configure --prefix=$HOME
	make
	make check
	make install
Linux PCs with Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran Download and unpack the NetCDF distribution from the UNIDATA web site. Then download and unpack this patch. Hereafter enter the following commands when you are using a Bourne shell (sh) or derived shell (ksh,bash):
	cd netcdf-3.5.0/src
	FC=lf95 CPPFLAGS=-DlaheyFortran ./configure --prefix=$HOME
	make
	make check
	make install
or when you are using a C shell look-a-like: 
	cd netcdf-3.5.0/src
	env FC=lf95 CPPFLAGS=-DlaheyFortran./configure --prefix=$HOME
	make
	make check
	make install
Linux PCs with Portland Group Fortran Follow the instructions for the Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran compiler but using FC=pgf90 and CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran.

Note that in the instructions above the name of the netcdf directory might be slightly different if you are using a different version of the library. Also note that you can replace the directory $HOME with any directory you like, but $HOME is probably the most convenient location to install the library, header files and tools.
