Problem with netCDF library support
Added by Monique Gosseling almost 8 years ago
Dear all,
I seem to have an issue with the library support in a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine. CDO has been installed to perform some analyses on netCDF files.
Whenever I want to perform a cdo command the machine gives back this message :
cdo sinfo: Open failed on >T2m_EC_1m_1971-80.nc<
Unsupported file type (library support not compiled in)
When I checked with cdo -V it returns this message :
Climate Data Operators version 1.6.2 (http://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo)
Compiler: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -pedantic -fPIC -pthread

netCDF library version : 4.1.3 of Feb 24 2014 21:05:37 $
HDF5 library version : 1.8.11
SERVICE library version : 1.3.1 of Nov 15 2013 17:10:28
EXTRA library version : 1.3.1 of Nov 15 2013 17:10:20
IEG library version : 1.3.1 of Nov 15 2013 17:10:24
FILE library version : 1.8.2 of Nov 15 2013 17:10:20
So the netCDF is actually installed, however it does not work(not sure what the dollar sign means here!?)
I was thinking it is a path problem. Do any of you know what the problem is here and how this problem could be solved?
Kind regards,
Monique

Although the netcdf library is 4.1.3 the CDO binary was not build with nc4 support. You should update to a newer version of CDO.
Anaconda might be useful, because, you can install software below your $HOME dir. and for Linux64bit its already compiled - so no manual build needed.

Dear Ralf,
Thanks for your response. The problem is now solved with updating to a newer version of CDO.
Kind regards,
