Hello, You are using an old version of netCDF, the current version is 4.6.1. It's possible that this is a known false-positive error, due to a change in the latest HDF5 library. You might try installing the latest version (which you may download from https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases) and see if the issue persists. I hope this helps! -Ward > Dear NETCDF Support Team, > > I am getting one error while installing the netcdf. > > > The terminal display for error look like as: > > ============================================================================ > Testsuite summary for netCDF 4.3.3.1 > ============================================================================ > # TOTAL: 55 > # PASS: 54 > # SKIP: 0 > # XFAIL: 0 > # FAIL: 1 > # XPASS: 0 > # ERROR: 0 > ============================================================================ > See nc_test4/test-suite.log > Please report to address@hidden > ============================================================================ > Makefile:1577: recipe for target 'test-suite.log' failed > make[3]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 > make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/sunil/PROG/NCDEF/netcdf-4.3.3.1/nc_test4' > Makefile:1683: recipe for target 'check-TESTS' failed > make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2 > make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/sunil/PROG/NCDEF/netcdf-4.3.3.1/nc_test4' > Makefile:2309: recipe for target 'check-am' failed > make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/sunil/PROG/NCDEF/netcdf-4.3.3.1/nc_test4' > Makefile:663: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed > make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 > > Sincerely, > > Sunil > > ------------------------------------------- > Dr. Sunil K.
