Re: [vox-tech] Fwd: [netCDF #QCY-964177]: netcdf - 4.0.1 problems

[Jason Snyder <jmssnyder@ucMAPSdavis.edu>]

I have my own machine, which is a toshiba laptop.  I believe that i am installing netcdf through compiling since I have to use make files to install netcdf.  I don't get any actual errors but I do not have all the files I need including netcdf.include

In general you have access only to your home directory, /home/yourusername unless you use sudo or su to gain root access, giving you write access to everything.  View permissions with ls -l, see more details here (or just google unix permissions) http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html

Are you using your own machine or a university machine with a systems adminstrator?  How are you trying to install netcdf?  (i.e. with apt-get or compiling?)  When do you get this error?

I got the following message as to why netcdf does not install correctly:

How do I access /usr/local?  Also how do I know which directories I have write access to?

Thanks,

Jason-
The problem almost certainly is that you do not have
access to /usr/local.
You will need to do one of two things.
1. configure and install netcdf using sudo or logged in as root.
2. choose a different location to install netcdf; one for which you
  have write access. You specify that by saying
  ./configure -prefix=<path to install directory>
