Hi Peter, > Further to my query regarding ncdump, I am just ensuring that I have the > correct dll's and lib's present. All is ok apart from 'szlibdll.lib' which > has eluded me thus far; for example, the link in the HDFgroup documentation > to download 'szlibdll.dll' and 'szlibdll.lib' does not work. I was wondering > if you could please advise me on a reliable download for this file. I don't know from where to download a precompiled dll for szlib on Windows, but the latest version is available in source form from either of these two places: http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/lib-external/szip/2.1/src/szip-2.1.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4/szip-2.1.tar.gz and it appears to be relatively easy to buld and install on Windows from source, accorrding to these instructions in the INSTALL file in the top-level source directory: 4. Installation for Windows platforms To install on Windows, extract project and instruction files from the szipproj.zip archive in the "windows" directory, and follow the instructions in the INSTALL_SZIP.txt file. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: APV-976877 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
