Hi carlos, im forwarding this to

netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

which deals with the netcdf c library.

Dear all,

I would like to install the nccmp program to compare netCDF files.

Checking the documentation, the installation follows the typical structure:

./configure
make
make check
make install
make clean

However, I'm stuck in the first step because the configure is not able
to find my netCDF libraries. But I don't know why.

My libs are not in the default folder, I've installed them in /opt. But
I've included the path of the netCDF libs in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

I tried also to create a link in the default lib folder to my netCDF libs

ln /opt/netcdf-4.2.1.1/lib/libnetcdf.so /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so
ln /opt/netcdf-4.2.1.1/lib/libnetcdff.so /usr/lib/libnetcdff.so
ln /opt/netcdf-4.2.1.1/lib/libnetcdf.a /usr/lib/libnetcdf.a
ln /opt/netcdf-4.2.1.1/lib/libnetcdff.a /usr/lib/libnetcdff.a

But it doesn't work either. I explicitly used the path in the call

./configure --libdir=/opt/netCDF/

I set LIBS and LDFLAGS to

LDFLAGS=-L/opt/netcdf-4.2.1.1/lib/
LIBS=/opt/netcdf-4.2.1.1/lib/

and execute configure then, but with the same bad results:

checking for nc_open in -lnetcdf... no
configure: error: in `/opt/nccmp':
configure: error: Required NetCDF library not found!

In the config.log I see:

configure:3763: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lnetcdf -lm >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libnetcdf.a(libnetcdf4_la-nc4file.o):
In function nc4_rec_read_types':
/opt/NETCDF_BUILD/netcdf-4.2.1.1/libsrc4/nc4file.c:1850: undefined
reference toH5Gget_create_plist'

and many more similar lines like that one...

I don't know what else to try, so any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.
