[ncl-install] error compiling ncl/ncar graphics (missing hdf files?)

[Mary Haley]

Hi Ana,

Just for the record: if you are not using NCGMs as an output format for your graphics, then it is not necessary that you get ctrans or ictrans built.

The issue is likely that when you installed HDF, you didn't include the "--includedir" option to tell it to install the HDF include files in a subdirectory called "hdf". This is necessary in order to keep the HDF files from clashing with the NetCDF include files.

Please see the "important note" at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml#HDF4

I believe you can also opt out of building HDF support into idt/ictrans. This is one of the questions asked when you run "./Configure".
