[gradsusr] Request

Is ncdump correctly installed? Try

> which ncdump

If the system cannot find the executable, it will not work. Probably  
the binary file isnt linked correctly to your /usr/bin directory  
(standard path for executables on unix systems).

Please have a look to your user-bin directory under /usr/local/bin. If  
the ncdump is located there, the installation is correct and you have  
to link the ncdump only to the path you need it OR to your /usr/bin  
directory.

Then you unix should find it when you call
> which ncdump

To link try
> cd /usr/bin
> ln -s /path/to/your/ncdump-executable .
(probably >ln -s /usr/local/bin/ncdump .)


Installation notes from  
http://badc.nerc.ac.uk/help/formats/netcdf/nc_utilities.html#unix
--------------------
1.1 Unix/Linux Operating System

You should be able to just type 'which ncdump' and if the software is  
installed the display will show the directory location of the utility.

However, if the system is not yet installed please follow the  
instructions here.

     You should visit http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ and  
click on one of the download options (e.g. a compressed tar file  
and/or zip file).
     Unzip and extract the contents of the tar file (using whatever  
decompression-utility you have handy, such as gunzip and tar).
     You should now have uncompressed the filedata to reveal a  
directory full of files such as 'Makefile', 'Readme', 'Release_notes'  
etc. Locate the file named 'INSTALL.html' and open it in a  
web-browser. This file will instruct how to install the software on  
the computing platform that you are using. (If you do not know which  
platform you are using then ask your system manager.) The INSTALL.html  
document is also available at:  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html if you have  
problems locating it.
     Follow the instructions in the INSTALL.html document for your  
relevant platform.
     To test that the software has been correctly installed you should  
be able to type 'ncdump -help' which displays a message of how to use  
the utility. Depending on your set-up you may have to include the full  
directory path such as '/usr/local/bin/ncdump -help'.
