[netcdfgroup] NetCDF OPeNDAP , R and Windows

Hello All:

I have undergrad students working with the R package with tablet PCs running 
Windows that are issued by the university via RStudio since that is what they 
will be trained on when they take their stats coursework.  I am trying to set 
things up so they can access data from our OPeNDAP server.

However, when windows runs it they are hit with the following error (which I 
also get on my windows build).

Error in R_nc4_open: NetCDF: Unknown file format
Error in nc_open(filename = URL_85) :
  Error in nc_open trying to open file 
http://kyrill.ias.sdsmt.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/testAll/TSA_RCP85_CONUS_1920-2100.nc4

This happens with other OPeNDAP-strored files as well.

All is well when working in the unix environment.  Windows, not so much.

I have JFGI’ed for solutions that don’t involve Cygwin and am not finding much 
of a solution.

Is the problem with the developer of the R package or is the Windows libraries 
not OPeNDAP-compatible by virtue of existing on the Windows side of the game.

Otherwise is there a solution that does not require downloading everything?

(And yes, I’ve pounded the table bringing in Macs as an official species of 
laptop.  They keep saying no.)

Cheers and Thanks Much
