Hi GG, > Thank you for the Netcdf software. > > When I built it, I made ckecks but two checks on 28 failed. > > I send you the log file. You have to use a more recent version of HDF5, 1.8.8 or later, with netCDF 4.3.1.1. There was a bug in HDF5-1.8.7 that we didn't test for in the corresponding netCDF version 4.1.3. The current netCDF version 4.3.1.1 detects the HDF5 bug when built with HDF5-1.8.7 or earlier, but builds fine with HDF5 versions 1.8.8 and later. If you have to rebuild HDF5 from source anyway, I would recommend just using the latest version 1.8.12, as that's what we've done the most testing with. --Russ > > Sincerely yours > > GG > > =========================================== > netCDF 4.3.1.1: ncdump/test-suite.log > =========================================== > > # TOTAL: 38 > # PASS: 36 > # SKIP: 0 > # XFAIL: 0 > # FAIL: 2 > # XPASS: 0 > # ERROR: 0 > > .. contents:: :depth: 2 > > FAIL: tst_h_scalar > ================== > > HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.4-patch1) thread 47788074311552: > #000: ../../../src/H5T.c line 1595 in H5Tcreate(): unable to create type > major: Datatype > minor: Unable to initialize object > #001: ../../../src/H5T.c line 2970 in H5T_create(): type class is not > appropriate - use H5Tcopy() > major: Datatype > minor: Feature is unsupported > > *** Create file with datasets & attributes that have scalar > dataspaces...Sorry!
