Robb,

I installed the 3.0.7 decoders on my computer, the gridtocdl and gridump
work fine but the gridtonc crashed at the very beginning. I suspect the
problem is that my NETCDF library is compiled with pgf90 and I used the
defaut compilation option (gcc) with the decoder. I need to fix this
problem first before I can test the tiling. I'll let you know my
progress (if any) and/or my problems (certainly).


francois,

good news, yesterday i downloaded a couple different files and decoded to
netcdf, it worked w/o  errors. i'll attach the cdl used.  i agree the
netcdf and udunits libraries need to be rebuilt. a word of
advice on building on linux, do

% setenv CC gcc

before running configure to get the compiler flags correct.

robb...


Thanks,

Francois
