help:can not unpack -xvzf netcdf.tar.Z

[eastwind111]

When I tried to install NetCDF, I met a problem. I downloaded -xvzf netcdf.tar.Z, via "cd ~/softwarewget" and "http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/n ... tcdf.tar.Z". But when unpack it, using "tar -xvzf netcdf.tar.Z"; some error appeared:

gzip:stdin:not in gzip format
tar:child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Also, size of the downloaded file "netcdf.tar.Z" is only 8 kb. Is the downloaded file a wrong one? How to get the right file?


Another question is how to deal with this error:
After I customised the Build Script and tried to compile ROMS, by "./build.bash", the screen showed:
./build.bash:line 40:$'\r':command not found
./build.bash:line 43:$'\r':command not found
./build.bash:line 46:syntax error near unexpected token '$'in\r''
'/build.bash:line 46: ' case "$1" in

The file netcdf.tar.Z is in compress format, not gzip format. Try changing z to Z in the tar command. However, you are right that 8 kb is too small for the thing. Do you have enough disk space for it? Do you have disk quotas? Try again to see if you can get a bigger file.

Thank you very much, Kate. Now it is being downloaded correctly.
Could you please also check the second question?

You're asking about the build.bash? It ought to be in the FAQ: do a search on dos2unix in here and you'll see it.

I am sorry I cann't find it. It isn't in the FAQ. Could you please provide more information about this problem?
