[ncl-talk] Possible to convert grib2 or netcdf files to grib1?

Hi Mary,

Thank you so much for this invaluable help! I compiled cnvgrib successfully
and can't imagine having been able to do it otherwise. The key was those
sneaky changes that need to be made for FFLAGS and CFLAGS in g2lib and
w3lib respectively. For anyone else who might have this problem on a Mac,
there were a couple other little things that I had to do to point the
compilers in the right direction, such as copying libpng.3.dylib from
/opt/X11/lib to /usr/local/lib and adding a few directories to my
~/.bash_profile so everything played nicely together.

The step-by-step instructions were great and I plan to use this as a
reference for future times that I get stuck on an installation.


Best regards,
Colin
