Hi <br>
I think it is either a problem with proxy server ie where you have
a file called .dodsrc in your home directory which looks somthing like:<br>
<br>
# DODS client configuation file. See the DODS<br>
# users guide for information.<br>
USE_CACHE=1<br>
MAX_CACHE_SIZE=5<br>
MAX_CACHED_OBJ=1<br>
IGNORE_EXPIRES=0<br>
CACHE_ROOT=/home/arabonis/.dods_cache/<br>
DEFAULT_EXPIRES=86400<br>
ALWAYS_VALIDATE=0<br>
# PROXY_SERVER=<protocol>,<host url><br>
# PROXY_FOR=<regex>,<proxy host url>,<flags><br>
# NO_PROXY_FOR=<protocol>,<host><br>
PROXY_SERVER=http,<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cache.uct.ac.za:8080">http://cache.uct.ac.za:8080</a><br>
PROXY_FOR=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cola8.iges.org:9090/dods/.*">http://cola8.iges.org:9090/dods/.*</a><br>
PROXY_FOR=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.monsoondata.org:9090/dods/gfs/.*">http://www.monsoondata.org:9090/dods/gfs/.*</a><br>
<br>
Otherwise you need to use the statically linked version of the
source if you want to compile it yourself.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Hi JP<br>
<br>
Yes, I can ping monsoondata.org OK.<br>
It appears to me that I'm getting into GrADS DODS.<br>
A session opens for me in console and I can move around inside and
execute various commands, except that sdfopen doesn't work, as
indicated.<br>
<br>
But one thing that is different from DOS is that in Linux the session
opens in the console, whereas in DOS a special new window opens.
Actually, that's the reason I'm porting to Linux because if a server is
not available or any error occurs, that window hangs horribly and
stuffs up Win XP.<br>
<br>
Does gradsdods need anything else other that access to data?<br>
Does it need a netCDF library or something? It has access only to
gradsdods at present.<br>
BTW, I'm using grads-1.8sl11<br>
<br>

Hi there<br>
This seems more to be a network problem, see if you can ping the
monsoondata server from the box, if not then thats the area to look in,
otherwise if you are behind a proxy server you may need a .dodsrc
config script to point grads to go via the proxy server.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

moving from Win XP to Linux with my GrADS DODS routines.<br>
I'm a newbie in Linux, but I've managed to install gradsdods OK and
once I set GIDDIR using export, it seems to open OK. However, when I
try to open a file, this is what I get:<br>
<br>
sdfopen <a
href="http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z">http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z</a><br>
Scanning self-describing file: <a
href="http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z">http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/rotating/gfs_12z</a><br>
nc_open failure:<br>
Invalid argument<br>
does not exist or is not a netCDF file.s/rotating/gfs_12z<br>
<br>
Couldn't ingest SDF metadata.<br>
If this was an HDF-SDS file, try gradshdf.<br>
<br>
Yet this same command works OK in Win XP.<br>
Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?<br>
