It still works for netCDF-3 access, as far as our testing can determine. > Can the two packages ("NetCDF-4 C++ Source Code" and "Legacy NetCDF-3 > C++ Source Code") coexist? They are separate libraries, so you can install both of them in the same directory. However, I don't think we test that currently, so it's possible that there is a bug in implementing that plan. If you see a problem with the libraries and include files being installed in the same directories, please let us know. > If not, does that mean I always need twos separate folders/directories > to keep them? No, that is not the intention. > I saw I have to use "#include<netcdf>" instead of "#include > <netcdfcpp.h>". Right, that's for the netCDF-4 release, whereas netcdfcpp.h is for the legacy netCDF-3 C++ release. > Do you have a list of all necessary changes I need to have? No, sorry, the netCDF-4 C++ library was contributed to us as a volunteer effort. It's fairly carefully documented here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/cxx4/ with a Tab for "Examples". We are making the library available, and are making updates as they are made available from Lynton Appel, the author. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: ZPF-558392 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
