Hello Dom, My apologies for the delayed response; I have been out of the office. I don't have a lot of experience with the Redhat Scientific Linux distribution, nor do I have access to the Intel C compiler suite, so it will be difficult for me to try to duplicate this error. Can you provide the `config.log` generated when you ran configure? This may provide some insight that we can use to try to diagnose the issue. Thanks, have a great day, sorry again for the delayed response! -Ward > Hi, > > on Redhat Scientific Linux System 7.2 with the Intel C compiler > 15.0.4, I get the following error messages during 'Cmake check' in > nc_test/test-suite.log: > > NetCDF: Numeric conversion not representable > > This occurs multiple times and always for operations of type: > nc_get_*_schar > nc_put_*_schar > > The system I am running is > > Linux XXXX 3.10.0-327.10.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 16 06:09:11 CST > 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > > and the 64bit version of the Intel Compilers is loaded.
