Hello!
New to hdf and relatively new to linux. I am trying to install the hdf4
library to use pyhdf in the python environment.
I've downloaded the hdf4 binaries but I cant find a .sh or .bin
installer
for the binary.
Do I need to build from source?
If you can use hdf-4.2.9-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, then you do not need to
build from source. (I'm not sure what pyhdf requires.)
The hdf-4.2.9-linux-x86_64.tar.gz file already includes the pre-built HDF
library and include files for Linux 2.6 x86_64 that were built with
gcc/gfortran 4.1.2. It also includes the pre-built JPEG/SZIP/ZLIB external
libraries.
(see below for how to use them)
I don't have much experience with linux binaries (except using .sh) so
any
help would be greatly appreciated.
I've downloaded
Hdf-4.2.9-linux-x86_64.tar.gz from
http://www.hdfgroup.org/release4/obtain.html
All you have to do to use these binaries is:
Untar/unzip the binaries from the command line:
gzip -cd hdf-4.2.9-linux-x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvf -
In the resulting hdf-4.2.9-linux-x86_64/ directory
you will find:
lib/ - HDF and external libraries
include / - HDF include files
bin/ - HDF utilities and C/F90 compile scripts (h4cc,h4fc)
If you wanted to use the C/F90 compile scripts, you would need to
first run:
bin/h4redeploy
Then you could compile an application. For example:
h4cc xxx.c
