Chris, I inadvertently sent you a newer version of the ncdump/rewrite-scalar.c file from our snapshot of the next release rather than from 3.6.2. The version you sent is exactly what is in 3.6.2 and shouldn't have caused the warning messages you got from the compiler. It also should not have resulted in a test failure, as we don't see this using the Sun cc compiler on our Solaris 8 platform. I'm mystified why this test is failing on your system. To help diagnose this problem, could you please, at your convenience, run these 5 commands in the ncdump directory of your source distribution, after the "make check" fails, and send me the outputs? cc -I../libsrc -g -o rewrite-scalar rewrite-scalar.c \ ../libsrc/.libs/libnetcdf.a ../ncgen/ncgen -b small.cdl ls -l small.nc ./rewrite-scalar small.nc t ls -l small.nc Just for comparison, here's what I see when I run these: $ cc -I../libsrc -g -o rewrite-scalar rewrite-scalar.c ../libsrc/.libs/libnetcdf.a $ ../ncgen/ncgen -b small.cdl $ ls -l small.nc -rw-rw-r-- 1 russ ustaff 68 Feb 14 15:20 small.nc $ ./rewrite-scalar small.nc t $ ls -l small.nc -rw-rw-r-- 1 russ ustaff 68 Feb 14 15:21 small.nc If those all work, then I'd like to see the outputs from ../ncgen/ncgen -b -k2 small.cdl for which I get $ ../ncgen/ncgen -b -k2 small.cdl $ ls -l small.nc -rw-rw-r-- 1 russ ustaff 72 Feb 14 15:23 small.nc $ ./rewrite-scalar small.nc t $ ls -l small.nc -rw-rw-r-- 1 russ ustaff 72 Feb 14 15:23 small.nc Thanks! --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: CSW-380765 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
