Hi Donald, From the log file you provided, I see the following: HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.14) thread 0: #000: H5F.c line 604 in H5Fopen(): unable to open file major: File accessibilty minor: Unable to open file #001: H5Fint.c line 1085 in H5F_open(): unable to read superblock major: File accessibilty minor: Read failed #002: H5Fsuper.c line 294 in H5F_super_read(): unable to load superblock major: Object cache minor: Unable to protect metadata #003: H5AC.c line 1320 in H5AC_protect(): H5C_protect() failed. major: Object cache minor: Unable to protect metadata #004: H5C.c line 3574 in H5C_protect(): can't load entry major: Object cache minor: Unable to load metadata into cache #005: H5C.c line 7954 in H5C_load_entry(): unable to load entry major: Object cache minor: Unable to load metadata into cache #006: H5Fsuper_cache.c line 476 in H5F_sblock_load(): truncated file: eof = 96, sblock->base_addr = 0, stored_eoa = 2192 major: File accessibilty minor: File has been truncated This suggests there is a problem with the libhdf5 library; off the top of my head, I am wondering if 1.8.14 is too early a version. I will test on my end, but I wonder if upgrading to the latest libhdf5 (1.8.17) would make a difference. I am going to go test my installation against 1.8.14 and will update the documentation accordingly. If this does not correct the issue, can you confirm that you have read access to all of the files in the h5_test/ directory? -Ward > Hi > > I am experiencing some compilation errors or failure around the h5 > test - should be the dimscales and rd tests as per the attached files. > I am trying to compile netcdf4-4.4.1, netcdf-fortran-4.4.1 & > netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0.
