Downloads

You can install WDB by compiling its source code release directly, or by installing the prepackaged binaries (if there is one for your operating system). WDB is currently in development toward 1.0; as a result, there is no attempt to keep successive updates compatible. To upgrade, one must uninstall the old version and install the new version. We do not intend to focus on maintaining compatibility across versions until we release version 1.0.

Source Code

The latest source code release is available in the (download directory).

Be sure to read the general instructions (README and INSTALL) for building from the source tarball, and the specific instructions within the source code itself.

WDB is dependent on a number of specific components and libraries. Specifically:

Postgres 8.1.x or later

Postgis 1.1.x or later

Pqxx 2.6.8 (it is not currently compatible with 2.6.9 and later)

Boost 1.33.1 or later

Log4Cpp 1.0.x or later

Proj.4 4.4.9 or later

GNU readline 5.0.x or later

In addition, the following libraries are required for the loading programs:

ECMWF GRIB API 1.3.x or later (for loading of GRIB files)

Felt2Grib Utility (for loading of FELT files)

KvalObs System (for loading of observations from KvalObs)

To generate the documentation, the following applications are required:

xmlto 0.0.18 or later

doxygen 1.4.6 or later

Binary Packages

We are developing a Debian package of WDB, which we intend to release and maintain. Contact the development group if you wish to test it.
