Installing cdo-python and cdo in Ubuntu 14.04

While installation of cdo (clima data operators) via apt tool in Ubuntu ran with no errors, my first running experiment had no such success history. On my screen the error:

error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.58: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After some search the question posed was that libicuuc.so.58 need to be installed. And it SHOULD be the .58 version. The solution was to compile it from scratch, according the following steps.

First, I downloaded it from

http://www.linuxfromscratch.or1g/blfs/view/8.0/general/icu.html

or directly
http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/58.2/icu4c-58_2-src.tgz

unpack it ran the commands:

cd source &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make check
sudo make install

Then, trying run cdo from command line again I got another error:

error while loading shared libraries: libmfhdf.so.0 ubuntu

The solution came from apt tool by installing libhdf4-dev, simply as

sudo apt-get install libhdf4-dev

And then it ran perfectly!
