Bug 427378 – sci-libs/gdal-1.9.1 gdalinfo fails to recognize classic netcdf (3) files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description James Hiebert 2012-07-20 18:59:12 UTC]

Using sci-libs/gdal-1.9.1 _with_ the netcdf USE flag enabled, the gdal library fails to open or detect the format of any classic netcdf version 3 files.  When I try to run gdalinfo on a classic netcdf file I get the error:
ERROR 4: `/tmp/agt_p1stmxa_199512.nc' not recognised as a supported file format.
Same error when trying to open the same file with the python gdal bindings.
I have built gdal-1.9.1 from upstrean subversion and upstream's gdalinfo opens the same files without problems (see Expected Results).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
james@basalt ~/code/svn/gdal-1.9.1/gdal $ file /tmp/aet_pptemp700_210011.nc 
/tmp/aet_pptemp700_210011.nc: NetCDF Data Format data
james@basalt ~/code/svn/gdal-1.9.1/gdal $ which gdalinfo
/usr/bin/gdalinfo
james@basalt ~/code/svn/gdal-1.9.1/gdal $ gdalinfo /tmp/aet_pptemp700_210011.nc 
ERROR 4: `/tmp/aet_pptemp700_210011.nc' not recognised as a supported file format.

gdalinfo failed - unable to open '/tmp/aet_pptemp700_210011.nc'.

Actual Results:  
gdalinfo failed to recognize the file

Expected Results:  
$ svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/tags/1.9.1 gdal-1.9.1

(default configure and make which enables netcdf)

[Comment 1 James Hiebert 2012-08-14 21:35:05 UTC]

Anyone?  Anyone?

[Comment 2 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2012-12-26 13:37:25 UTC]

Is this fixed in version 1.9.2?

[Comment 3 Aaron W. Swenson 2013-06-24 23:36:56 UTC]

Let us know if the issue persists in gdal-1.10.0-r1.

[Comment 4 James Hiebert 2013-06-25 01:13:56 UTC]

This appears to be resolved for both 1.9.2 and 1.10.0-r1.

Thanks.
