Hi, The hdf5 version in osgeo4w is quite old - 1.6.5 was released in 2005 - and latest release is 1.8.9. Netcdf version is also old - 3.6.1 which was released in 2006 - and latest release is 4.2.0
Could osgeo4w maintainers consider installing a more recent version of netcdf-4 (at least 4.1.1) and hdf5 (at least 1.8.3)? Without this netcdf-4 files cannot be read by gdal nor anything that relies on it. There are pre-compiled binaries at ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-4.1.1-win32-bin.zip http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html For building netcdf see also http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install.html#Building-on-Windows Although it seems quite difficult to build netcdf since 4.1.2 This mail was forwarded to the osgeo4w-dev list as it seems that it is related to osgeo4w installation of netcdf+hdf5 and not gdal not qgis. Matt: It seems that the HDF5 driver is picking up the file - this file is a netcdf-4 file with hdf5 storage. It should be picked up by the netcdf driver, but it isn't. For now your only options are 1- use linux 2- try the gdal builds by Tamas Szekeres : http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ 3- ask your provider to give you netcdf-3 files 4- convert them to netcdf-3 using tools like nco or cdo Regards, Etienne On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 7:14 AM, MattJack <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm back with my "I can't open my .nc file with gdalinfo"! > > Etienne, I could install a more "up-to-date" gdal version, by re-running > osgeo4w setup. > > so now Gdal version is "GDAL 1.9.1, released 2012/05/15" > which sounds good. > > About supported formats it looks good too: > GMT (rw): GMT NetCDF Grid Format > netCDF (rw+): Network Common Data Format > HDF4 (ro): Hierarchical Data Format Release 4 > HDF4Image (rw+): HDF4 Dataset > HDF5 (ro): Hierarchical Data Format Release 5 > HDF5Image (ro): HDF5 Dataset > > But I still can't open "Norgas.nc" file on my system, inspute of this file > is certified "OK" by the producer. > > I get this error : > C:\>gdalinfo norgas.nc > HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 library version: 1.6.5 thread 0.
