cdo-configure: Unable to link to eccodes library
Added by Maik Gottschalk over 2 years ago
Hello!
I successfully installed eccodes-2.26.0.
On trying to configure cdo with '--with-eccodes=<dir>' I always obtain the error
checking for library containing grib_get_message... no
configure: error: Could not link to eccodes library
(the complete output to 'configure' is attached as configure.log).
The directory provided to '--with-eccodes=<dir>' is available:
mg@odroidn2:~$ ls -l /opt/eccodes-2.26.0
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 mg mg 4096 May 30 16:21 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 mg mg 4096 May 30 16:21 include
drwxr-xr-x 4 mg mg 4096 May 30 16:21 lib
drwxr-xr-x 3 mg mg 4096 May 30 16:21 share
The command used is
./configure --prefix=/opt/cdo-2.0.5 --exec-prefix=/opt/cdo-2.0.5 --enable-dependency-tracking --enable-option-checking --with-gnu-ld --with-szlib=yes --with-hdf5=yes --with-netcdf=yes --with-fftw3 --with-udunits2=/opt/udunits-2.2.28 --with-util-linux-uuid=yes --with-eccodes=/opt/eccodes-2.26.0 --with-magics=/opt/Magics-4.12.0 --with-curl=/usr/lib --with-proj=/usr/lib --with-libxml2=yes
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Maik.

Hi Maik,
I am not sure if you can upload the configure.log file, but did you try to add --with-eccodes=/opt/eccodes-2.26.0/lib or run it with sudo?
Kind regards,

Hi Estanislao,
thanks for your hints.
I just tried all combinations of both
--with-eccodes=/opt/eccodes-2.26.0/ and
--with-eccodes=/opt/eccodes-2.26.0/lib
with and without using 'sudo'. None succeeded.
The relevant log files are attached. The only difference I found is that by using '/lib' the file 'grib_api.h' cannot be found:
mg@odroidn2:~$ diff configure.log configure_with_lib.log
187c187
< checking for grib_api.h... yes
---
checking for grib_api.h... no
BTW: I compiled / installed Magics-4.12.0 and Metview-5.16.0 (both from ECMWV) against eccodes-2.26.0 without any problems.
Maybe sth. is wrong with the 'configure'-script on using '--with-eccodes=<dir>'?
Any further help is highly appreciated...
Regards,
Maik.

Hi Maik,
I have just downloaded the source file. I also found those lines. I think it is a problem of your local paths. cdo is trying to find something but he cannot (shame on him!!). if you go to the configure file you can read "--with-eccodes=<yes|no|directory> (default=no)". Have you tried to write --with-eccodes=yes and pass the path of your libraries like flags (i.e. ECCODES_INCLUDE='' and ECCODES_LIBS='')? You could also try to add the bin,shared,lib and include to your $PATH and $LD_PATH. I hope this can help. I know it is frustating to configure and compile librariesKind regards,
Estanislao

Hi Estanislao,
Fortunately, I found the solution of my problem myself:
The file 'config.log' contains detailed calls of what 'configure' tries to compile and / or link. It showed a failed linkeage to libjasper.so.4, needed to link libeccodes.so, which indeed must fail. A short investigation showed that libjasper.so has been updated from .4 to .6 after compilation of libeccodes and before cdo.
After re-compilation of libeccodes cdo could be configured and compiled fine.
Anyway, thanks for your ongoing help!
Kind regards,
Maik.

Hi Maik,
I am glad that you found the problem. Sometimes the compiling errors are extremly unhelpful. the log files are key to find the those error, but sometimes..it is a tedious task.
Kind regards,
Estanislao
