Dear all, I would like to use data in .netcdf format and for those I have to use the netCDF or ncdf packages. Problem : these packages don't seem to work : "Error in testRversion(descfields) : This package has not been installed properly See the Note in ?library" (with netCDF package) Does anybody have the same problems with these packages ? Is there any other packages existing to convert netcdf format ? Version: 1.8.0 OS: Windows XP with many thanks in advance ??????????????????????? A4?

Where did you get these from? You need to compile them from source or get versions from my site (not CRAN): the latter work for me.

Either compile it youself or get the binary. For Windows binaries http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.8/@ReadMe tells you: "The packages XML, ncdf, netCDF, and xgobi do not build out of the box.
