Re: install netcdf package

[Clinton Winant]

Hi Dmitri

Thanks for the very prompt answer.  It turns out that the problem was that the netcdf install put the binary files in the wrong place, so octave could not find them:  When I moved nc-config  from /usr/local/netcdf/bin  to /usr/bin/  everything worked.  Perhaps this will be useful to  others

I have tried to install netcdf package following

I already have the netcdf installed and running on my machine:
ls /usr/local/netcdf/lib
libnetcdf.a  libnetcdff.a  libnetcdff.la  libnetcdf.la  libnetcdf.settings  pkgconfig

​I think you need to install shared libraries​.

Regardless you should tell us what kind of computer system do you have, how did you
install octave etc...

​FWIW netcdf installs fine on Fedora 23:

​octave:1> pkg load netcdf
octave:2> test_netcdf
Using NetCDF library version "4.3.3.1 of Aug 16 2015 15:07:34 $"
run test_netcdf_constant..............   OK  
run test_netcdf_create................   OK
