No worries.

Hmm... I was expecting to see an undefined reference to a shared library,
but I don't see anything unusual about this listing other than it being
rather long.

As a comparison, here is 'ldd' output for the 'ncdump' that gets built
and installed as part of McIDAS:

% which ncdump
/home/mcidas/bin/ncdump
% ldd `which ncdump`
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff79548000)
        libnetcdf.so.7 => 
/home/mcidas/mcidas2018/netcdf/liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.so.7 (0x00007f76a7fc9000)
        libhdf5.so.8 => /home/mcidas/mcidas2018/hdf5/src/.libs/libhdf5.so.8 
(0x00007f76a7aff000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003cf1e00000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003cf2600000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x0000003cf2a00000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003cf1600000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x0000003cf2200000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055941dbe9000)

Have you tried running the version of 'ncdump' that gets built as part
of a McIDAS installation?  If yes, what are/were the results?

re: large and consistently sized netCDF output files; wrong?

We'll know more when you can do an 'ncdump' on the files you are creating.

Cheers,

Tom
