error: "You must install ECMWF bufrdc library"

[dhwx]

HI I am having issues installing bufr2synop.

I have installed the ECMWF burfdc library to /usr/lib, and can see a libbufr.a file there...
However I still get the following error message when trying to sudo ./configure:

checking for bufrread in -lbufr... no
configure: error: "You must install ECMWF bufrdc library"

the bufrdc version I installed was the latest available..bufrdc_000405.tar.gz

Thanks for any help you can give

Hello dvwx, sorry by the delay in reply.

I've just installed also bufrdc 000405 . I installed it using gfortran and 32 bits real options. The target directory was '/usr/local/lib'

Then I cloned bufr2synop an configured it without problem. It detected bufr library.

Have you done 'sudo ldconfig' after installed bufrdc ?. May be libbufr cannot be detected because of this. I had many problems in the past after installing new packages ala 'configure make and make install' because I forgot to run ldconfig.

Tell me if you can finally work with bufr2synop.

Thanks for the reply Guillermo.I have since moved on to trying to work directly with the bufr output, but will let you know if I do try again and how it goes.Dan

Hi, I have the same problem and 'sudo ldconfig' dosent help me.
I have tried to reinstall burfdc library with different options, but 'configure' gives me the same error all the time.

Same problem, answered in this issue:
bufrdc lib from ECMWF intstalled and works, but configure won't run

The use of ECMWF bufrdc library is deprecated
