This is strange, something we haven't seen before, and a problem I can't reproduce. It may very well be a bug in our build process, but unfortunately our expert on autoconf is now working elsewhere. > Is it ok to install anyway with the missing functionality or is this > something essential to the library? Is there a workaround? I don't know what functionality is missing as a result of this error, so I can't answer the question, unfortunately. > Kind of related: is there a way to prevent a failed test from halting > the running of the whole suite?

No, not as far as I know, except to comment the test out of the test scripts or test program and rebuild/rerun. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NUM-345602 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Critical Status: Closed
