  • Ticket #45703 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 I am on Mac OSX 10.7.5. I installed cdo +grib_api and the build seemed fine. I think my problem is an issue with the way cdo links to the grib_api - is there a way to check the configuration for an installed port (so that I could check it searches for grib_api in the right place)? I've described my problem below..

    33The grib_api was not installed before so I checked that it had been installed properly by testing the commandline tools that come with it on a grib edition 1 file, eg.
     4{{{
    45> grib_ls -P stepType filename.grib
     6}}}

    9 This worked fine. When I try cdo sinfo filename.grib for the same file, I get an error because cdo can't find the definition table - the same definition table that was successfully accessed by the grib_ls command to define avgfc above:

    1523The definition that can't be found by cdo, but can be found by grib_ls, is 'time range 113' so I searched for where the definitions are:
    16 
     24{{{
    1725> echo `grib_info | grep ":" | grep "definition" | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d " "`
     26}}}
    1827returns:
     28{{{
    1929/opt/local/share/grib_api/definitions
     30}}}
    2031
    2132I then looked to make sure that the definitions that cdo can't find are actually there (eg time range 113 should be defined in 5.table):
    22 
     33{{{
    2334> grep 113 `grib_info | grep ":" | grep "definition" | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d " "`/grib1/5.table
     35}}}
    2436returns:
     37{{{

    2741The grib_api installation therefore appears to be working fine, but I think there is a problem with how the cdo installation uses the grib_api.
    … …  
    2943I have tried with and without sudo, and have tried setting environment variables such as GRIB_DEFINITION_PATH (sometimes required for the grib_api, although in my case it seems to work fine without). Here's some more information:

    4866I'm using macports version 2.3.2 and did port selfupdate before port install cdo +grib_api.
