Apparently, the current netCDF/Perl package will work with the current netCDF-4 package *if* the configure(1) script of the netCDF-4 package is the options "--disable-netcdf-4" and "--enable-shared". According to Ed Hartnet (one of the netCDF-4 developers) use of the "--disable-netcdf-4" option would mean the following: 1. Such an installation would not be able to read or write netCDF-4/HDF5 files. 2. It would be able to read or write classic format or 64-bit offset format files without difficulty. 3. If you don't need to read/write netCDF-4/HDF5 files, then building with --disable-netcdf-4 is a good way to get the core library and tools. You will still get the opendap client too. Is this acceptable or do you need to access netCDF-4/HDF5 files using the netCDF/Perl package? > Thanks very much! > > Cathy Smith > PSD web and data > > -- > ---------------------------------------------- > NOAA/ESRL PSD and CIRES CDC > 303-497-6263 > http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/people/cathy.smith/ > > Emails about data/webpages may get quicker responses from emailing > address@hidden Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: UGD-926588 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
