Hello,
I had problems installing netcdf on my machine (SGI 4D35 running IRIX 4.0.2)
because I had the TMPDIR environment variable set to "/usr/tmp". tempnam()
will use the content of the variable instead of the directory name in the
parameter list. Therefore, I always got the message "cross-device link" and
the program aborted.
My (not very elegant) solution looks like this:
in file: src/file.c, line: 452, function: ncredef ()
/*
* unicos ignores the first arg to tempnam
* always seems to want to put the file in another file system
*/
/* IRIX too, so here's a little hack for SGI's ..... */
if (getenv("TMPDIR")) putenv ("TMPDIR=.");
