I like to hear from people out there who have successfully compiled and
used the NetCDF library on MacOS platform.
I have down loaded the NetCDFonMac package from the contrib folder of
netcdf ftp site. I used ThinkC to successfully compiled the netcdf and xdr
libraries after a bit of trouble, but I can not get it to read a valid
sample netcdf file (image.nc) from unidata or any
grd(NetCDF- GMT) file.
More specifically, inside the ncopen routine after confirming the Magic
number of the netcdf file for image.nc (down loaded from Unidata), it dies
on reading the attributes(header),
"ncopen: "String KOAK ..." length 18788 exceeds 128".
------ code included -------
if( !xdr_NC_array(xdrs, &((*handlep)->attrs))){
NCadvise(NC_EXDR, "xdr_cdf:attrs") ;
return(FALSE) ;
}
------ code included --------
The behavior is a little different with grd(NetCDF- GMT) files, it
reads the magic number, dims, attrs, and reads NULL for the
variables, which in turns means that I can not continue with the
execution of the program.
Any help on the above problems is really appreciated. If you
have successfully used the netcdf/xdr library on MacOS, just
drop me a note, so I know that it is possible to get this to work.
