This may be caused by jackets.obj being corrupted or empty. You can grab a new copy from the pub/netcdf/old/msdos directory of anonymous FTP from our FTP server ftp.unidata.ucar.edu. If/when you grab code from us, please make sure that you do the transfers in binary mode. >The actual location of the NetCDF include file 'netcdf.inc'is in the >current directory,where are files 'test.for' and 'uwmcdf.for'.I don't >edit the contents of your file 'netcdf.inc'. >I can't read UWM/COADS array,using 'test.f' as an example.What I had >to do? The first thing is to get you a setup where you can successfully build netCDF applications. We can worry about accessing the data set after that. >I have not source files,containing all the C-callable NetCDF >interfaces,and I have no opportunity to obtain the book >"NetCDF User's Guide", published by the >Unidata Program Center, University Corporation for Atmospheric >Reserch (Rew et al.1993). You can grab the netCDF source distribution from the pub/netcdf directory. Unfortunately, the binary distribution of the netCDF libraries, jackets.obj, etc. are for netCDF Version 2.3.2. We no longer provide this version of the package in the pub/netcdf directory. If need be, I can put this distribution out there for you to grab. Please let me know what your preference is. >I would appreciate very much if you help me,because I am interested >in the UWM/COADS data for my investigations. Let's first get you an environment where you can build netCDF applications. I think that you are very close to this, so it hopefully won't take a lot of time. After that, we can help you a little with the UWM/COADS data access, but I don't think that you will have any problems with it after your environment is setup. > Sinserely yours >Konstantin V. Koshel I look forward to hearing from you soon...
