Dear list, Several have asked questions about installation of NetCDF4 successfully.
If you simply download NetCDF and install it using configure without any flags you will only get support for CDF-3. Although you have downloaded NetCDF-4.4.1 it will NOT intrinsically install NetCDF with CDF-4 support. I know this is very confusing, and it is indeed very unfortunate. To further complicate the issue, SIESTA requires the Fortran library which requires a second installation. To ease the use of the NetCDF features I have created a script which should install NetCDF (source version: 4.4.0) with full CDF4 support. The script has been tested on Debian. All you need to do is download these sources to your installation directory: http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.8.16/src/hdf5-1.8.16.tar.bz2 https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/archive/v4.4.0.tar.gz https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/archive/v4.4.3.tar.gz Also download the attached install.sh script to your installation directory. The installation script will NOT install the parallel version, but you should be able to adapt the script accordingly if you really want this feature enabled. Please run through the script and read the comments to ensure that it will do as you requested. I will probably not be able to help you change the script to your liking, but feel free to post any changes that adhere to different compilers etc. Once you have edited the script and read the comments, you may run the script: $> bash ./install.sh and it will install, first zlib, then hdf5, then netcdf-c and lastly, netcdf-fortran. -- Kind regards Nick
