Using NetCDF files for your data

Introduction

Admin Details

Compiling the NetCDF Libraries from Unidata

wget http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf-4.0.tar.gz


tar -xzf netcdf-4.0.tar.gz
cd netcdf-4.0
./configure --prefix=/opt/netcdf/netcdf-4.0 --enable-shared FC=ifort CC=gcc CXX=g++ CPPFLAGS="-DpgiFortran"
make
make check
make install


Installing the Python Interface

wget http://sourcesup.cru.fr/frs/download.php/1833/Numeric-23.8.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf ...
cd Numeric...
python setup.py install
wget http://sourcesup.cru.fr/frs/download.php/2309/ScientificPython-2.8.tar.gz
cd ..
tar ...

but now need to hack setup.py for:

  • netcdf path
  • problems with /usr/lib and /usr/lib64

perhaps easiest to just patch with a symbolic link:

cd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages
ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Scientific
