What version of HDF5 were you linking against in /d1/haley/5.1.0 ? I just tried netCDF-4.0.1-beta3 with HDF5-1.8.2 with --enable-largefile and --enable-large-file-tests, and it worked fine. I assume you've already checked that you were running "make check" in a file system that had enough free disk (I think you need around 6 GBytes to run the large file tests). By the way, --enable-largefile is the configure default so need not be explicitly specified. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OHV-990519 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
