Steve,

        Good morning.  I have a new problem for you.  Netcdf-perl was
successfully built (so we thought), but when I run a make test for the
decoders installation, I get errors suggesting that netcdf-perl is not
installed.  Is there some configure file I missed that points to the
netcdf-perl installation?  I have attached my test.log file.

Thanks,
Matt


Matt,

I looked at your log, it appears that invocation of perl cannot find the
NetCDF perl module ie. netCDF.pm  The netCDF.pm should be located in the
lib dir, similar to /local/lib/perl5/netCDF.pm   A procedure to check the
perl lib paths is to run a decoder in a debugger, ie

% perl -d metar2nc metar.cdl
Then do a print of @INC, this shows the paths perl is looking for modules.
ie


 DB<2> p "@INC"
/usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.004 /usr/local/lib/perl5
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .

The path to your netCDF.pm must not be included, so find out the path and
add it to @INC.  If you path to netCDF.pm is /usr/lib/perl5 then add the
path via:

push( @INC, "/usr/lib/perl5" ) ;

before the
use NetCDF ;

statement in the decoders.   I don't know the exact reason this happens
but this should solve the problem.
