conflict of netcdf.dll

[JianghuiDu]

When using MATLAB the netcdf library is pointed to netcdf.dll in the MATLAB installation folder and NCDatasets reports

error compiling nc_open: could not load library "C:\Users\Jianghui\.julia\conda\3\Library\bin\netcdf.DLL"
The specified module could not be found.

How could I redirect the library?

You could try to hard-code the path in ~/.julia/dev/NCDatasets/deps/deps.jl (the location of this file will be different on windows). You can try the one provided by conda and the one by Matlab.

[...]
# Load dependencies
@checked_lib libnetcdf "/full/path/to/netcdf/library"

Maybe MATLAB.jl change some environment variables. I suggest you to ask also the julia form and MATLAB.jl . I do not use Windows and Matlab anymore.

Did you see this issue [1] and the discussion thread [2]? I think it is not possible currently to load two different versions of netcdf library at the same time. Maybe the work-around of [2] can also be applied here.

Thanks! I was thinking about a quick fix. It doesn't really worth the effort. Won't call Matlab in Julia anymore.
