I reinstalled ocssw as outlined in the post above. However, I get a new error when trying l3bin

Error message below:

line 2205 of /home/dshea/focs/oel_hdf4/libbin/bin_io.cpp: Permission denied

/home/dshea/focs/oel_hdf4/libbin/bin_io.cpp does not exist

Looking in the installation dir (/cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/):
1) I find oel_hdf4 here but no focs folder inside: /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/ocssw_src/oel_hdf4

2) I find bin_io.cpp here: /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/ocssw_src/oel_hdf4/libbin/bin_io.cpp

Thanks for your help.

I think you have an older version of ocssw and V2022.0 mixed in your /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/ directory because
1. The error message says your L3 BIN is an old one
L3BIN 5.13 (Aug 16 2019 12:47:26)

2. In your /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw directory, there is ocssw_src, which should not be there if you didn't install with --src argument

Please delete install_ocssw.py and /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/, and then reinstall ocssw from scratch by downloading install_ocssw (not install_ocssw.py) https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/

[dale.robinson]

I deleted delete install_ocssw.py and /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/, then dowloaded reinstalled per your instructions (https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/) and got the same result:

Looking at the version in the just installed files:
$ /cwdata1/seadas8.2/install_ocssw --version
install_ocssw 6.0

$ /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/bin/l3bin --version
L3BIN 5.13 (Jan 11 2022 14:32:32)
5.13

and for comparisons
$ /cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/bin/l2bin --version
l2bin 7.0.3 (Jan 11 2022 14:32:55)
7.0.3

This was my install command:
./install_ocssw -i=/cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw --tag V2022.0 --seadas --modisa --seawifs --viirsj1 --viirsn --viirsdem

Check your output directory permissions. The line in the code that is reporting "Permission denied" is the line that creates the output file. It's dying because it cannot do so for permission reasons.

Hi Sean,
The error is: /home/dshea/focs/oel_hdf4/libbin/bin_io.cpp: Permission denied

/home is where user spaces are. It is owned by root. There is no /home/dshea directory. Is the insulation process trying to create /home/dshea in the user space folder? I don't think that we would allow that.

BTW:
I find the "bin_io.cpp" file in my installation ("oel_hdf4/libbin/bin_io.cpp") at this location (I installed the source code).
/cwdata1/seadas8.2/ocssw/ocssw_src/oel_hdf4/libbin/bin_io.cpp

Is that where it should be? Could there be an environmental variable that is not set. Or an old one that was set in some earlier installation that is point to the wrong location? One that would normally point to bin_io.cpp?

Thanks,
Dale

OK, I reinstalled everything again from root. It works now. Thanks.

[OB.DAACx - SeanBailey]

The error message was reporting the line in the code where the error occurred. The reported path to that source code has nothing to do with where the code resides on your machine - and it is not trying to put anything on your machine under that path. The permission denied part is the return from the attempt to write the output file to the directory where you defined it to be when passing the argument to the code. You probably should not install as root, but as an unprivileged user. Just make sure that the path to the output file desired is writable by that unprivileged user.

Thank you. Understood and changed
