Installing a program (ncview)

[Gerippter]

The ncview README says it needs the Athena Widget Set, and expects headers and libs,
in a dir 'Xaw' of the standard X11 dir.
I installed it, no use.
Sigh...

Try to configure it with option --x-libraries. For example:

./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

It worked fine in my Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Tuomas

I had the same problem. You have to install the packages libxaw7-dev and libxaw-headers. Worked for me!

Thanks for the tip. I needed both libxaw7-dev and libxaw-headers and probably wouldn't have realised otherwise.

You also need netcdfg-dev, not simply netcdf3 as I was attempting. Without netcdfg-dev the file netcdf.h that is needed to make ncview is missing. That might be obvious to a lot of people, but it caused me problems for a while.
