[ncl-install] Compilation error in NclNetCdf.c

[matthieu.lafaysse at ujf-grenoble.fr]

Hello,

I am trying to install ncl on a SUSE Linux 10 SP3 (x86_64).

As the available binaries do not work on this system, I am trying to
compile from sources.

I compiled successfully netcdf without netcdf-4 support and without
OPeNDAP support.

In the NCL configure script, I only ask for a Udunits-2 support and I
answered no to all other questions :

Build NCL (y)?  : y
Build cairo support (optional) into GKS library? n
Build HDF-4 support (optional) into raster library? n
Did you build HDF-4 with szip support? n
Build Triangle support (optional) into NCL n
If you are using NetCDF V4.x, did you enable NetCDF-4 support (y)? n Did
you build NetCDF with OPeNDAP support (y)? n
Build GDAL support (optional) into NCL? (n) n
Build Udunits-2 support (optional) into NCL (y) y
Build Vis5d+ support (optional) into NCL (y) n
Build HDF-EOS2 support (optional) into NCL (y) n
Build HDF-EOS5 support (optional) into NCL (y) n
Build GRIB2 support (optional) into NCL (y) n

Although I did not ask for HDF-4 support, I have errors if I do not
provide HDF 4 libraries.

If I provide netcdf and HDF 4 libraries, I have undefined references
errors during ncl compilation :

NclNetCdf.o: dans la fonction « NetSetVarCompressLevel »:
NclNetCdf.c:(.text+0x1748): référence indéfinie vers «
nc_def_var_deflate »
NclNetCdf.o: dans la fonction « NetAddVarChunkCache »:
NclNetCdf.c:(.text+0x191b): référence indéfinie vers «
nc_set_var_chunk_cache »
NclNetCdf.o: dans la fonction « NetAddVarChunk »:
NclNetCdf.c:(.text+0x1aa3): référence indéfinie vers «
nc_def_var_chunking »

When I look for help on the web, it looks like netcdf-4 errors although I
didn't ask for netcdf-4 support.

Is it normal ? Please could you help me to fix this problem ?

These errors occurred after the following command in the Makefile :

Are netcdf-4 / hdf4 / hdf5 really optional ?
I just need the basics of NCL (+ udunits functions) that's why I am trying
to compile in the more simple way.

Thank you for your help,

Bests regards
