[ncl-install] NCL & PGI

[Mary Haley]

Thanks for providing the file.

There are a couple of problems.

The first one is that when you build HDF4, you have to tell it to install the HDF include files to a subdirectory "hdf", by using the --includedir option when you build HDF-4. For more information on this, see:

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

The second problem is that it looks like you said "yes" to the question about whether you built NetCDF with NetCDF-4 support, but then you are linking against a NetCDF library that wasn't built with NetCDF 4 support turned on.

It's a bit confusing, because even if you download NetCDF 4.1.x and build it, you may not necessarily get NetCDF-4 support unless you include:

   --enable-netcdf-4 

on the "./configure" line when you build NetCDF.

You have two options here:

  1. Re-build NetCDF 4.1.x with the --enable-netcdf-4 option set.

  2. Re-run the "./Configure" program associated with NCL and answer "n" to the  question:

    "If you are using NetCDF V4.x, did you enable NetCDF-4 support?"


For information on building NetCDF with and without NetCDF-4 support, see:

I looked in the 'bin' directory, and there are a lot of files, but no ncl.  Were there any additional flags that I needed to give it?  I read through the INSTALL.txt file, but don't remember seeing anything that stood out as being extra important.

I've seen other people on google searches ask this question, but I have yet to see an answer.  Can someone point me to a good reference, or, give me the correct ./Configure flag layout if you have it handy.
