Hi,
I just installed NCL to convert GLDAS GRIB files into NetCDF by using
ncl_convert2nc, but the program terminated with "segmentation fault".
Can anyone give me a suggestion?
OS: Linux v2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP i686 GNU/Linux
NCL version: 5.0.0
I installed the binary for linux given in the NCL homepage.
Data: GLDAS data set (GRIB w/non-builtin p-table)
Detail:
Converting a file without specifying the p-table was succesfull, but, of
course, with some parameters named as unknown.
--
%> ncl_convert2nc clm10_m/2007/GLDAS_CLM10_M.EB.A200705.001.grb
--
When the external p-table is specified with NCL_GRIB_PTABLE, it fails
with segmentation fault.
--
%> env NCL_GRIB_PTABLE_PATH=gribtab ./ncl_convert2nc \
clm10_m/2007/GLDAS_CLM10_M.EB.A200705.001.grb
Processing file: GLDAS_CLM10_M.EB.A200705.001.grb...

Segmentation fault
--
The p-table I used is provided by the GLDAS team and is given at the end
of this mail. Closer look at the problem showed that it failed at the
line 903 of ncl_convert2nc as
--------
filevarattdef(fnc, ncVarNames(i) , dumAtts)

Here ncVarNames(i) and dumAtts are displayed with print command as follows.

I also tried a script given at
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/griball.shtml
but it also gives segmentation fault as well. Would anyone give me a
suggestion?
