Dennis from netCDF support included LUGOD's vox-tech in his reply, but is not subscribed. I'm assing this along to the list on his behalf:

That is confirmation that it compiled correctly. >is it because of lack of write access that I have for the directory >/home/snyderjm/Desktop/netcdf-4.0.1? No, this directory is the one containing the source for netcdf-4.0.1. When you do "make install", this source is compiled and then the necessary parts (programs, libraries, headers, and documentation) are installed in /usr/local/. >How do I obtain access to /usr/local? You will need to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH environment variable. If you do the command "echo $PATH" you can see if it is already there (I am betting that it is). Once it is in your path, then you can use the program ncgen and ncdump. When you compile programs that need to use netcdf, you will need to specify -I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf on the command line. > Also how do I access root directory since i have permission denied here. You should only have write permission denied. But that is why I suggested you use sudo, since that allows you temporary access to root. =Dennis Heimbigner Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: QCY-964177 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Open ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
