Thanks. Sorry, there's not enough information to see what test failed or indicate what the problem is. That version of the netCDF library was released more than 5 years ago, so it may be difficult to provide support. Since you're on a Windows platform, it might help to look at the most recent netCDF libraries available for Windows now, which you can download in compiled form: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/winbin.html If you want us to try to diagnose the test failure with netcdf-3.6.3, we'll need the information listed here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Reporting-Problems.html --Russ --Russ > -- > Xueming Zhu ? > Key Laboratory of Research on Marine Hazards Forecasting(LoMF),SOA > National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center(NMEFC) > No.8, Dahuisi Road, Haidian District, Beijing , 100081 > People's Republic of China > Tel:+86-10-82481923 > > Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KGE-979363 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
