#3154 closed defect

Configure snippet is not truly able to manage both netcdf3 and netcdf4 — at Version 1

Severity: normal Keywords: netcdf

Description (last modified by warmerdam)

When testing nc_open it does not consider that netcdf4 can be built with --enable-netcdf-4. In this case netcdf requires linking HDF5 and libz. Netcdf now offers a pkg-config snippet to manage properly linking. On sid it returns currently:

-L/usr -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lz  

There are different ways to support both netcdf3/traditional builds or the new one. It's up to you decide if splitting --with-netcdf3/4 is appropriate or having a try with pkg-config would be a better option.

Chaitanya, could you look into this as time permits?

If older versions of the netcdf3 package does not have pkg-config, we may still need to support mechanisms for the user to override.
