OPeNDAP (a.k.a., DODS)

CDAT is automatically built with OPeNDAP (a.k.a., DODS) support on Linux and Mac OS X 10.3.x platforms. You must provide the binaries for the DODS libraries on all other platforms. (Make sure they've been compiled with the same compiler used to build CDAT.) To build with OPeNDAP client support, use the --with-opendap=/my_dods_dir command option. (We recommend the use of the --force option as well).

If you do not want OPeNDAP support (e.g., for Linux and Mac OS X platforms) add the --disable-opendap option to the build command line.

SCRIP interpolation

CDAT Version 4 includes support for the SCRIP interpolation package developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. SCRIP interpolates gridded data, and can be used with nonrectangular grids introduced in CDAT V4.

Because this package is standalone and is written in Fortran 90, it is not built by default.

Note: CDAT has a built-in regridder for rectangular grids. If you need the richer functionality of SCRIP, this package is included in <CDAT_SRC_DIRECTORY>/exsrc/src directory. See the SCRIP user guide for installation instructions.

R Statistical Package

The R statistical package takes an extremely long time to build, but it builds smoothly on Linux and Mac OS X 10.3.x platforms. Because of the time R takes to build, we’ve decided to remove it from the build process.

If you already have R built on your system, and wish to only build the Rpy contrib package, then make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the path to your R distribution, and then run the following build line command:

cd <CDAT_SRC_DIRECTORY>
<CDAT_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>/bin/python install.py --enable-r

Scientific Python

If OPeNDAP (a.k.a., DODS) is enabled, then SP will be built  with DODS support.
