Hello all,

I had some roadblocks getting netcdf dependencies working correctly in order to run exec/con2cdf4 so I decided to make a little write up in case someone else has the same errors.

My versions:
HYSPLIT version: hysplit.v5.2.1
Linux: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
netcdf library version 4.7.4

I first tried just installing packages and trying to run con2cdf4 with this output:
../exec/con2cdf4: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdff.so.7

Solution step by step:

Install packages

$ apt-get install -y libnetcdff-dev
$ apt-get install -y netcdf-bin
——————————————————————————————————————————————

Ask the package management what files the package contains:

$ dpkg -L libnetcdff-dev

output:

Change Makefile.inc in hysplit/ to add in these lines or uncomment:
(These paths may differ for you, see what the out put from the above command is.)

# NetCDF library
NETINC= -I/usr/include
NETLIBS= -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lnetcdff

——————————————————————————————————————————————
$ cd /hysplit/data2arl/arw2arl
$ make

——————————————————————————————————————————————
You should now be able to convert binary cdump concentration output to NetCDF.
(from working dir)
EXAMPLE:
$ ../exec/con2cdf4 cdump cdump.nc
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Test you can read in a netcdf with ncdump
$ncdump -h cdump.nc
——————————————————————————————————————————————

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable might need to be redefined to include the directory containing the libnetcdff.so.7 library. If you are using bash, it can be done by:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
