  • Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 20:22:46 -0600
Hi Rafael,

> I am trying to compile hdf5 and netcdf4 in my computer. It is a
> i686 machine with gcc 4.3.3 version and gfortran.
> 
> I downloaded  hdf5-1.8.6.tar.gz and netcdf-4.1.1.tar

Unfortunately that combination doesn't work.  Please see the note here about
only using HDF5-1.8.5-patch1 with netCDF-4.1.1 or using a later version of
netCDF with HDF5-1.8.6.  The netCDF-4.1.2 release will be announced soon, and
that is known to work with HDF5-1.8.6:
