Hi Reepal, Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your question. > I have already ncetcdf 4.1.3. > > I tried to install netcdf 4.3.2. > > I got following attached message. > > Can you guide me? should I remove netcdf 4.1.3 and then install netcdf > 4.3.2. Just let me know steps. This is due to using an old version HDF5 library with which to build netCDF-4. In more detail, there was a bug in HDF5-1.8.7 and earlier that we didn't test for in the corresponding netCDF version. More recent netCDF versions detect the HDF5 bug when built with HDF5-1.8.7 or earlier, but build 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 1.8.13, as that's what we're testing with now. After you have installed HDF5 1.8.8 or later, rebuild netCDF-4 using that installed version, according to the instructions you were already following at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html Please let us know if you encounter additional problems. We'll try to respond more quickly next time. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: YMT-660802 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Critical Status: Closed
