I've done a bit more research on this myself. I use a third-party
NetCDF interface that links to a local copy of the library from
netcdf-shlibs which has been renamed to use a .so extension. I did this
because I figured that the interface was written for Linux, and the
author wouldn't bother to include the .dylib option. However, as a
test, I tried using scilab's "link" command on libnetcdf.4.dylib, and my
identical copy, libnetcdf.so:
-->link("/Users/hansen/scilab/Darwin/libnetcdf.so")
shared archive loaded
Link done
ans =
2.
-->link("/sw/lib/libnetcdf.4.dylib")
ld returned bad status: 100
!--error 236
link: the shared archive was not loaded
$ ls -l /Users/hansen/scilab/Darwin/libnetcdf.so /sw/lib/libnetcdf.4.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hansen hansen 185244 May 10 14:14
/Users/hansen/scilab/Darwin/libnetcdf.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 185244 May 8 07:28 /sw/lib/libnetcdf.4.dylib
And by making a symbolic link libtk8.4.so->libtk8.4.dylib I was able to
get the link command to work. Apparently scilab only fundamentally
knows how to link to .so (and .dll) files.
