#45703: cdo installation doesn't find grib_api tables
----------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  shona.mackie@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.3.2
 Keywords:  cdo grib_api    |       Port:  cdo
----------------------------+--------------------------------
 I am on Mac OSX 10.7.5. I installed cdo +grib_api and the build seemed
 fine. I think my problem is an issue with the way cdo links to the
 grib_api - is there a way to check the configuration for an installed port
 (so that I could check it searches for grib_api in the right place)? I've
 described my problem below..

 The grib_api was not installed before so I checked that it had been
 installed properly by testing the commandline tools that come with it on a
 grib edition 1 file, eg.
 > grib_ls -P stepType filename.grib
 returns:
 stepType     edition      centre       typeOfLevel  level        dataDate
 stepRange    dataType     shortName    packingType  gridType
 avgfc        1            ecmf         surface      0            20130101
 6            fc           lsp          grid_simple  regular_ll  etc etc

 This worked fine. When I try cdo sinfo filename.grib for the same file, I
 get an error because cdo can't find the definition table - the same
 definition table that was successfully accessed by the grib_ls command to
 define avgfc above:

 > cdo sinfo filename.grib
 returns:
 cgribexGetTsteptype : GRIB time range 113 unsupported!

 The definition that can't be found by cdo, but can be found by grib_ls, is
 'time range 113' so I searched for where the definitions are:

 > echo `grib_info | grep ":" | grep "definition" | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d
 " "`
 returns:
 /opt/local/share/grib_api/definitions

 I then looked to make sure that the definitions that cdo can't find are
 actually there (eg time range 113 should be defined in 5.table):

 > grep 113 `grib_info | grep ":" | grep "definition" | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr
 -d " "`/grib1/5.table
 returns:
 113 113 Average of N forecasts (or initialized analyses); each product has
 forecast period of P1 (P1=0 for initialized analyses); products have
 reference times at intervals of P2, beginning at the given reference time.

 The grib_api installation therefore appears to be working fine, but I
 think there is a problem with how the cdo installation uses the grib_api.

 I have tried with and without sudo, and have tried setting environment
 variables such as GRIB_DEFINITION_PATH (sometimes required for the
 grib_api, although in my case it seems to work fine without). Here's some
 more information:

 > cdo -V
 returns:

 I'm using macports version 2.3.2 and did port selfupdate before port
 install cdo +grib_api.

 Any suggestions are much appreciated.
