Re: Octave and NetCDF

[abarth]

Hi Andres,

Thank you for the information.

For some reason, octave seems not to find the netcdf.oct file. Can you
check if it is present on your system?

locate netcdf.oct
or
find / -name netcdf.oct

Then inside octave, can you issue:

which netcdf

it should return something like:
/usr/libexec/octave/site/oct/api-v21/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/octave-forge/netcdf.oct

You mentioned that you compiled netcdf with ifort. This is the Intel
Fortran compiler. Octcdf uses the C-API of netcdf. Did you compile netcdf
C library with icc?
In any case, if you install octave-forge by yum, you don't have to worry
to compile netcdf yourself. To determine which library octcdf is using,
you can issue:

ldd /path/to/netcdf.oct

On Fedora, octcdf is linked against the nc-dap library (NetCDF+OPeNDAP)
which allows to read local netcdf files and also to download files from a
OPeNDAP server. You should see somethink like:

ldd
/usr/libexec/octave/site/oct/api-v21/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/octave-forge/netcdf.oct
        libnc-dap.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libnc-dap.so.3 (0x00002aaaaac03000)
[...]

Can you please send me the output of these commands?

Thanks,
Alex

what OS, what NETCDF version, etc...
