Robb,
I have tried the suggestions in the readme file, but they do not seem to
work for me either. You said I could cd to the ~ldm directory to test the
decoders. How exactly do I do that?
Matt,
- login as LDM (~ldm is the LDM home dir, where ones ends up on login)
- add the path to the PATH environment var so the the deocders can be
found by the which command. Can be done in the .cshrc file, then do
% source .cshrc
Remember that all the cdl files and station files should be in the ldm/etc
directory.
Run this in the ldm home dir
% metar2nc etc/metar.cdl 0007 < "raw metar file"
could use testdata.wmo for the raw file.
Robb...
