Hello all, I've been having problems getting gdal to work with netcdf files.
Using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy) 1. problems with libgdal 1.4.4 First i tried the default gdal versions and libraries installed through Synaptic Package Manager. The packaged version was gdal 1.4.4 All programs that called gdal - Grass (using r.in.gdal), FWTools and gdalinfo, gdal_translate etc - gave me a 'segmentation fault' I then looked up online and this bug report seemed to say it was a fault with how gdal is packaged by Ubuntu - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgdal-grass/+bug/126916 and the recommendation was to compile from source. So then on to part 2 2. I compiled from source gdal1.5.2 from http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource using the following configure ./configure --with-netcdf=/usr/lib --with-libtiff=yes --with-geotiff=yes --with-jpeg=/usr/lib --with-gif=/usr/lib --with-png=/ur/lib --with-pg=/usr/bin/pg_config --with-libgrass=yes make sudo make install and made sure the libgdal link was referring to the new one. I tried gdalinfo file.nc and again got 'segmentation fault' it works for other data types; only netcdf does not work (just like before with gdal1.4.4) How can i fix this problem? I am not a linux expert by the way...perhaps that was obvious:) The .nc file is very large - It iss climate projection data from the California Climate Change Center. All i want to do is automate the extraction of climate data for a set of points - am trying to do the following: - import .nc data into Grass rasters or GeoTiff with bands = images on the netcdf file - run a small script to extract climate data for vector point data from each Grass raster/GTiff Please help, Vishal FYI: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads/gdal-1.5.2$ gdalinfo --version GDAL 1.5.2, released 2008/05/29 Vishal K.
