Re: [netcdfgroup] Problem compiling netcdf4

[Ansley Manke <Ansley.B.Manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I've built the netcdf-4.1-beta2 library, and am investigating its use 
both by looking at ncdump and linking it with Ferret, to open local 
netCDF datasets and remote URL's. We have previously used the OPeNDAP 
library for this, but are now eager to switch over to netcdf-4.

I'm finding that for remote URL's, I can read data with a call to 
"nc_get_vara_float", but if I try "nc_get_varm_float" which allows for 
strides and specifying alternative mapping of the data structure, I'm 
getting an error code of -36, which translates as "Invalid Argument".  
For now I'm not trying to do any strides or permutations; just setting 
the stride indices to 1 and the imap indices as we always have, pointing 
to the location of each dimension of the data as it is stored.

For reading data from local netCDF files, calls to nc_get_varm_float 
work fine.

Any ideas?
