I would like to write a fortran program which uses NetCDF.
In order to do so, I have to have the netcdf-module somewhere on my harddisc, and tell my compiler where to find it.
In Synaptic, the following packages are installed:
netcdf-bin
nco
netcdf-doc
libnetcdf-dev
libnetcdf6
libnetcdf-dev, especially, promises "everything needed for developing in C, C++,
Fortran 77, and Fortran 90"; however, I cannot find the libraries anywhere on my system, and accordingly, I cannot develop anything.
Where might the libraries be? They are neither in /usr/share, nor in /usr/lib.
And how, in general, can I found out where a package installs its files on my machine?
Best Answer
If you open Synaptic and focus on any installed package then click "Properties" button, you can see dialog with "Installed Files" tab.
So netcdf libraries are in
/usr/lib/and include files in/usr/includeif you installed libnetcdf-dev through packaging system
