CKO


Installing the udunits Library

On some of the computer systems used in the CKO, the udunits 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.

Linux PCs with Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran Download and unpack the udunits 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 udunits-1.11.7/src
	FC=lf95 CPPFLAGS=-DlaheyFortran ./configure --prefix=$HOME
	make
	make test
	make install
or when you are using a C shell look-a-like: 
	cd udunits-1.11.7/src
	env FC=lf95 CPPFLAGS=-DlaheyFortran./configure --prefix=$HOME
	make
	make test
	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 udunits 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.
