Hello, I am a new user of R and Linux (debian squeeze), and I am trying to install the ncdf library. First I don't know wich is the best to use (ncdf or ncdf4), But not matter the one I tried to install, it always failled. I try to find a solution to this common problem on the web, but I never find the good way to solve it. I hope you could help me I try many things during two days and now I don't know what to do.
One of the things I done is to try this command : install.package ('ncdf4') It give to me : /Installing package(s) into ‘/home/casse/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) essai de l'URL 'http://cran.univ-lyon1.fr/src/contrib/ncdf4_1.6.1.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 98337 bytes (96 Kb) URL ouverte ================================================== downloaded 96 Kb * installing *source* package ‘ncdf4’ ... ** package ‘ncdf4’ correctement décompressé et sommes MD5 vérifiées checking for nc-config... no ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error, nc-config not found or not executable. This is a script that comes with the netcdf library, version 4.1-beta2 or later, and must be present for configuration to succeed. If you installed the netcdf library (and nc-config) in a standard location, nc-config should be found automatically. Otherwise, you can specify the full path and name of the nc-config script by passing the --with-nc-config=/full/path/nc-config argument flag to the configure script. For example: ./configure --with-nc-config=/sw/dist/netcdf4/bin/nc-config Special note for R users: ------------------------- To pass the configure flag to R, use something like this: R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-nc-config=/home/joe/bin/nc-config" ncdf4 where you should replace /home/joe/bin etc. with the location where you have installed the nc-config script that came with the netcdf 4 distribution. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘ncdf4’ * removing ‘/home/casse/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/ncdf4’ Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘ncdf4’ had non-zero exit status The downloaded source packages are in ‘/tmp/RtmpOnAH2P/downloaded_packages’ Thank you, Claire -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Problem-installing-ndf-library-tp4646986.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
