Public bug reported: To the maintainers of the cdo package in ubuntu.
Dear ubuntu cdo package maintainers, I already posted "question" about this same issue I'm reporting here, but it expired, so I'm posting again this same issue in here, hoping to have some response or at least some directions on how to behave to help and fix the problem. I found a mismatch between what cdo is supposed to do and what it actually does. I downloaded and installed the cdo package from the ubuntu official repositories (I'm using ubuntu 12.04). I wanted to use one of the cdo operators, sellonlatbox, on a weather forecast GRIB 1 datafile. The selection of the subdomain works fine, but however the resulting output file loses the information about the forecast lead time. At first I thought it was a problem of the cdo software itself, and I posted a support request, to state the possible presence of a bug in their software to the developers of the cdo. You can find my complete report here: https://code.zmaw.de/boards/1/topics/1171 I went on with my investigation to what was showing me as a bug, a misfunctioning of the cdo software. I compared with a colleague of mines, who does not use nor ubuntu nor debian but fedora. In his system, everything was working correctly. So I tried to download from the CDO website https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo the source code of version 1.5.3, which is the one available in the ubuntu repositories, and not working on my system. I compiled the cdo source package downloaded from the site with: configure --with-netcdf=/usr --with-jasper=/usr --with-grib-api=/usr --with-proj=/usr make make install This installation works good (and also much faster than the cdo software installed by the ubuntu software centre). For this compilation, I used the standard compilers available with ubuntu (I mean, I do not have any proprietary compiler on my computer, only the standard ubuntu tools). The libraries I used for linking are the ones already available in the ubuntu software centre, namely provided by the netcdf-dev package (1:4.1.1-6), the libjasper-dev (1.900.1-13), libgrib-api-dev (1.9.9-3) and libproj-dev (4.7.0-1). Please, let me know how the work will go on to solve the problem. I can provide more details to more specific questions, even if I tried to be as complete as possible in this report. One more note: in my post on the cdo forum I referenced above, I mentioned the wgrib utility. The wgrib utility I used is the one available within the grads package installed by the ubuntu software centre (version 2.0.a9-4).
