Im new here as well as to install software from the source.
I want to install http://www.hdfeos.org/software/h4cflib.php to convert hdf --> netcdf files.
External requirements are HDF4 HDF-EOS2 libraries.
So I 1st checked with
dpkg -l | grep hdf
ii libhdf4-0-alt 4.2.10-3.2 amd64 Hierarchical Data Format library (without NetCDF)
ii libhdf5-10:amd64 1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1 amd64 Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) - runtime files - serial version
Thus I assumed to have libhdf4 without netcdf installed (see the hint on eos instructions: HDF4 library must be configured with "--disable-netcdf" option.)
2nd for hdf-eos nothing found in the same way. So tried to install this, from: https://newsroom.gsfc.nasa.gov/sdptoolkit/TKDownload.html --> hdfeos --> latest_release --> HDF-EOS2.19v1.00.tar.Z and followed user guide from the same folder: HDF-EOS_UG.pdf
install-script section (Appendix A.1.3.1):
zcat HDF-EOS2.19v1.00.tar.Z | tar xvf -
cd hdfeos
bin/INSTALL-HDFEOS -sgi64
Error: In 64-bit linux platform the env. variable LINUX_BRAND must be set to linux32 or linux64 before running this script.
Installation Using Autoconf/Automake (Appendix A.1.3.2):
cd [...]/hdfeos
./configure --with-hdf=/usr/lib/libmfhdfalt.so.0 --libdir=[...]/hdfeos/lib/linux
[...]
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking for ceil in -lm... yes
checking for jpeg_set_defaults in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: couldn't find jpeg library
Here I did /usr/lib/libmfhdfalt.so.0 because I found:
ldconfig -p | grep hdf
libmfhdfalt.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libmfhdfalt.so.0
But problem seems here to be jpeg library anyway.
ldconfig -p | grep jpeg
libjpeg.so.9 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.9
libjpeg.so.8 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8
dpkg -l | grep jpeg
ii libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 1.4.2-0ubuntu3 amd64 IJG JPEG compliant runtime library.
ii libjpeg8:amd64 8c-2ubuntu8 amd64 Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runtime library (dependency package)
ii libjpeg9:amd64 1:9b-1ubuntu1 amd64 Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runtime library
Tried also to install it from source. Found in the eos folder on: jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
cd jpeg-6b/
./configure
make
sudo make install
works without errors apart from me having to manually create a folder.
So I try again to install:
cd [...]/hdfeos
./configure --with-hdf=/usr/lib/libmfhdfalt.so.0 --with-jpeg=/usr/local/bin/ --libdir=[...]/hdfeos/lib/linux
[...]
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking for ceil in -lm... yes
checking for jpeg_set_defaults in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: couldn't find jpeg library
for the install scritpt method: what to do about this LINUX_BRAND variable?
for the autoconf/automake way: Do I have wrong path to the jpeg library? If so how do I find the path? Is there something wrong in general with proceeding?
I don't really know what to read or to google. Sorry if the quesion is not properly posed, I will learn if you correct me. Thanks a lot for your help.
