Installing and using netcdf files for AbiPy

I’m relatively new to ABINIT and I have been learning through the tutorials. However for parts of the tutorial that use netcdf (ie. Base1 Tutorial last part, Base3 Tutorial band width graphs, etc.) I cant seem to access them. Especially when using cut3d, option 15 is supposed to generate a netcdf file of my data, but it always gives me an error saying “bad file descriptor.” What are the steps to installing netcdf programs or configuring my abinit to use/create netcdf files? Also, are netcdf files the same as those ending in “.nc”? Thanks!

What are the steps to installing netcdf programs or configuring my abinit to use/create netcdf files?
Use:
Code: Select all
./configure --with-trio-flavor="netcdf" OTHER_OPTIONS
to activate the internal netcdf library.
At the end of the configuration, you should see that the internal netcdf fallback has been activated.
Code: Select all
==============================================================================
=== Final remarks ===
==============================================================================
Summary of important options:
* C compiler : gnu version 8.2
* Fortran compiler: gnu version 8.2
* TRIO flavor = netcdf-fallback
Compile the code with `make -jNUM_CPUS` as usual
Since netcdf support is activated, Abinit will produce automatically netcdf files that can be used for post-processing with AbiPy (e.g. the GSR.nc file).
