Thread: SAC distribution for UBUNTU 22.04

Dear Rami -

This is a workaround rather than a fix. (Whether there is a SAC problem, I don’t know.)

The only sensible use I know of for readbbf / writebbf is to communicate between the SAC command language and an external program. A much simpler and straightforward way to do this is by using the

$RUN prog > /tmp/macro.m
…
$ENDRUN

mechanism in a SAC macro to provide program input, and for the program to write a SAC macro file which gets read by SAC to get output from a program, e.g. write

value = 1.0
print *,’SETBB V1 ‘,value
print *,’Q’
end

in your f77 program with standard output directed to a SAC macro file that your own SAC macro expects to read (see above $RUN example). Then issue “m /tmp/macro.m” in your own SAC macro and you get the value of V1.

The readbbf / writebbf mechanism is not used very much (it actually is an old LLNL software package that predates SAC and got absorbed into it in the early ‘80s) and is possibly broken or even, silently, absent in newer releases of SAC.

Hi,

I am a member of the team of ASIR Seismic (https://asirseismic.com).
Is the SAC distribution suitable for UBUNTU 22.04?

I have a problem compiling a program (main.f) using readbbf , setbbv and writebbf (see below)

Thanks for your help,

Rami Hofstetter



Program main.f:
------
call readbbf ('bbfile',nerr)
call setbbv ('V1',v1,nerr)
call writebbf ('bbfile',nerr)

stop
end


f77 -g -c -o main.o main.f
f77 -g -o ../../bin/perform main.o /usr/local/sac/lib/sacio.a
/usr/bin/ld: main.o: in function `MAIN__':
