Hello, Thank you for reporting the issue! > the installation requested this be reported: > > ========================================= > netCDF 4.3.2: ncdump/test-suite.log > ========================================= (...) netCDF requires HDF5 version 1.8.8 or later. This may be caused by your older libhdf5 install. Also, please make sure that your hdf5 library is compiled with zlib support, as this is also required by netcdf.
