Hi Hsie,
re: 32-bit MySQL on stratus
> The include files and libs should be in /usr/sfw.
Very good.
I have built McIDAS-X/-XCD in 32-bit mode on stratus and am
ready to test the GRIB2 processing.
'mcidas' needs to do the following:
- delete and remake the MySQL database:
<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/solaris/workdata
decinfo.k SET DMBIN INACTIVE <- I already did this!
gribadmin removedb <- I don't have the password to do this
-- edit ~mcidas/solaris/bin/gribadmin and change to use of the 32-bit MySQL
(the appropriate lines are in the file already; all that needs to be
done is to comment out the current 'mysql_path' and 'PATH' lines
and uncomment the ones appropriate ones for 32-bit MySQL use)
gribadmin makedb
decinfo.k SET DMBIN ACTIVE
If all goes well, all GRIB messages from the HRS and NGRID datastreams
should be processed.
I will continue to work on why the processing of GRIB2 is not
working on Solaris 10 x86_64 when McIDAS is built in 64-bit mode.
Cheers,
Tom
