VAPOR is the Visualization and Analysis Platform for Ocean, Atmosphere, and Solar Researchers.

It serves to render 3D data cubes nicely.

I have been trying and ran into some problems, but I am not sure if it is me...

Cheers,

Please read this forum's Sticky.

Sure. Sorry.

The web page is at

http://www.vapor.ucar.edu

It uses expat, qt and netcfd. Bindings to IDL (http://www.ittvis.com/index.asp) can be compiled as well for easier data import.

Cheers,
Blind

Post the error messages you got.

Sorry,

am not at work right now and thus don't have access to the error message.

However, I got into contact with the author, and one issue was known, the other one was due to an incorrect version of the QT lib.

I guess I will have to sed some files in the PKGBUILD. I will let you know tomorrow.

Ok, I did it myself.

For anyone interested:

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/Vapor-$pkgver

        # setting up (see options.mk for more)
        mv options.mk options.mk.backup
        echo -n "INSTALL_PREFIX_DIR=" >> options.mk && echo $startdir/pkg/usr >> options.mk

        # make
        make

        # install
        make install

        # remove unnecessary stuff
        rm -rf $startdir/pkg/usr/examples
}

I think putting it in AUR is not a good thing, because you really need to manually change options. Nevertheless it is a nice program.
