Problem with the MATLAB R2009a version (7.8.0) and Netcdf

[angelolemos]

People, I have installed a new version of Matlab. I already download the matlab-toolbox-roms.
So, the problem appear when nothing is working anymore.
I can't find a mexnc and snctools compatible with this new version of matlab to create a grid file with seagrid.

I'm severely thinking to change to EASYGRID, but there I need these mexnc and snctools for matlab, too.

The error is:

>> seagrid2roms('seagrid.mat', grdfile);
## SeaGrid Source File : seagrid.mat
## ROMS Destination File: /home/angelolemos/src/ROMS/roms-grid/coast-grid.nc
??? Error using ==> feval
Invalid MEX-file '/home/angelolemos/src/ROMS/roms-grid/matlab/netcdf/mexcdf53.mexglx':
/home/angelolemos/src/ROMS/roms-grid/matlab/netcdf/mexcdf53.mexglx: undefined symbol: _fxstat.

Error in ==> ncmex at 139
[varargout{:}] = feval(fcn, varargin{:});

Error in ==> netcdf.create at 13
[theNCid, status] = ncmex('create', name(self), thePermission);

Error in ==> netcdf.netcdf at 413
result = create(result, thePermission);

Error in ==> seagrid2roms at 152
nc = netcdf(theRomsFile, 'clobber');

Someone can help me?! Or is better change to a newest version of matlab.

Thanks.

You need the netcdf_toolbox, which I just found out was removed from the instructions on the mexcdf page, because John Evans, who maintains these pages, doesn't want to support it. But it's still there:

Use SVN to get the latest mexnc, snctools and netcdf_toolbox and you should be good to go with NetCDF and Matlab 2009a:

Code: Select all

svn co http://mexcdf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mexcdf/mexnc/trunk mexnc
svn co http://mexcdf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mexcdf/snctools/trunk snctools
svn co http://mexcdf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mexcdf/netcdf_toolbox/trunk netcdf_toolbox

One additional tip: do a "which mexnc" and make sure it points to the version in the mexnc directory you just downloaded, and not an old one.

You can find the Mexnc and SNCTOOLS for Matlab 2009a (and later) at:

http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net/downloads/2008b.php

And some instructions on how to install it at:

https://www.myroms.org/wiki/index.php/MEXNC

Install and test it. If everything is Ok, try to use Seagrid.

Note that now, Matlab is looking for the mexnc library at:

/home/angelolemos/src/ROMS/roms-grid/matlab/netcdf/mexcdf53

So make sure you have the right library and it appears first in your Matlab path:

Hi,

I'm with a serious problem with Matlab 7.8.0 (R2009a) and the NetCDF.

So, I'm begin in ROMS Model, and I don't know how set up my Set Path correctly at Matlab.
I downloaded the Roms Netcdf Toolbox, which contain the following files (I think they are the main):

./main_data
./matlab
./matlib
./data/NCEP_daily
./seagrid
./GSHHS
./m_map

Where I put my netcdf packages (mexnc, snctools and netcdf_toolbox)? There are 3 packages netcdf - ./matlab/netcdf - ./matlib/netcdf - ./matlib/netcdf7.

The command seagrid2roms('seagrid.mat', grdfile) from MAIN_grid.f isn't working, because the netcdf isn't correct.

Netcdf always was my big problem with numerical modeling.
Please, someone can help me?

Thanks a lot!
