Hi Jim,

I just download and built HDF5 1.8.11 with 13.6 but wasn’t able to recreate the error. What configure/environment options did you use? I just set the compilers but didn’t add anything else. Could there be a problem with your system?

%make check

Hi Mat,
It must be a problem with this system (AMD bulldozer) system, as ‘make check’ works on another (AMD, not bulldozer) debian ‘squeeze’ system. Will post more later after looking around some more…

Thanks,

Jim

Mat,
Resolved by upgrading to wheezy from squeeze, all is well.

Thanks,

Jim
