And yet, the method where this code is is defined as:
bool initFile();
and the class is really very close to the netcdf datasource. I'm
puzzled... I believe the problem has to do with building from the
datasource template, but I just don't know why. It seems that some new
headers (kstprimitive.h, kststring.h, kstdataplugin.h, and surely
others) don't get installed, which may be a problem for out-of-tree
datasource builds. But it does not seem to be the problem here. And I
unfortunately don't have time to investigate this further right now. I'd
be interested to know whether someone else has managed to build an
external datasource using _metaData with a recent svn snapshot ?
