Hi Robert, re: > I got a backup old Solaris server installed with CentOS 7.2. However I am > still having > issues compiling hdf5 even though it is Linux not Solaris. I have attached > the makelog. The indication in your makelog is that libz.a is not found: configure: error: Can't find or link to the z library. Turn off netCDF-4 and opendap with --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap, or see config.log for errors. configure /usr/mcidas/mcidas2016/netcdf: FAILED I would try installing the package using 'yum' as 'root', and recompiling from scratch, but, quite frankly, I'm surprised by the message. Questions: - What is the environment you are compiling in (i.e., what is the output of 'env')? - did you follow the Unidata directions for setting up the environment for 'mcidas' before attempting a build? Ref: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/current/users_guide/PreparingthemcidasAccount.html By the way, we have been drooling over the EXPERIMENTAL imagery coming down from GOES-16... it is truly spectacular especially the full disk, band 2 (0.64 um) images which are 0.5 km resolution!
