Hi Nandithat, Are you using HDF5-1.8.9 or later? Earlier versions of HDF5 have a problem with recent versions of netCDF-4. You can see what version of HDF5 you have installed by looking at the file libhdf5.settings in the lib/ directory where the HDF5 library is installed. If it's not a problem with an old version of the HDF5 library, could you please send the config.log file generated when the configure script was run, and the h5_test/test-suite.log file that has more details about the failed tst_H_VARS test? Thanks. --Russ > I am facing the following make error.
