cannot find libnetcdf.so.6 #146

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I am trying to run a program with netcdf4 interface, but getting the error: 
"ImportError: libnetcdf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory"

I am on a 64 bit Ununtu 12.10 computer and I have netcdf-4.2, hdf5-1.8.9  and 
python 2.7.3 installed. The code I am trying to run is simply "From netCDF4 
import Dataset" when it gives me the error. 

I tried to run a locate on libnetcdf.so.6 and returned nothing, but I found:
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.so
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.7
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.7.1.1

Does anyone know how to get the older libnetcdf.so.6, or tell python to use 
libnetcdf.so.7?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is probably to rebuild the module so it links the version of the 
library you have installed.

To be honest, I do not know how to do that! How do you link a library when 
installing netCDF4?

how did you install it in the first place? With the Ubuntu package manager?

I am getting the same error - running on Ubuntu 12.10.  I installed the package 
via "sudo apt-get install python-netcdf".  I also only have libnetcdf.so.7 and 
libnetcdf.so.7.1.1 files in /usr/lib.  Is there an install option that does not 
require a "build" approach?

This is really a Ubuntu question, but it seems to me that either you need to 
install the package the provides libnetcdf.so.6, or rebuilt python-netcdf so it 
links the new libnetcdf.
