[netCDF #ZSJ-783149]: Question about building netCDF libs on RHEL4

Trevor,

No, "make check" will not stop if an error is encountered, but instead 
completes as many tests as possible.  However, every error message emitted 
includes the word "FAILURE" in all caps, so if you grep for that in the output 
and don't find it, you can be sure there were no problems.  As an example, 
here's what the output from a test failure looks like:

 ...
*** Testing nc_put_att_short ...  15 good comparisons. ok
*** Testing nc_put_att_int ...  19 good comparisons. ok
*** Testing nc_put_att_long ... 
        FAILURE at line 7211 of test_put.c: range error: status = 0
        FAILURE at line 7211 of test_put.c: range error: status = 0
        FAILURE at line 1254 of test_put.c: att value read not that expected
 18 good comparisons. 
        ### 3 FAILURES TESTING nc_put_att_long! ###
*** Testing nc_put_att_float ...  21 good comparisons. ok
*** Testing nc_put_att_double ...  27 good comparisons. ok
