[netCDF #UBI-364498]: netcdf issue

Hi Chris,

That warning is definitely not the cause of the other problem you see, with
the netCDF file not getting written.  The warning comes from using the netCDF-2
C interface, which used one function and its data argument for data of all 
types.

In the more recent netCDF-3 and netCDF-4 interfaces, there are type-specific
functions which don't get this warning and are also better at detecting 
inadverant
errors in the calling program, such as declaring the wrong types for data 
arguments.
You might consider updating your calling program to the netCDF-3 interfaces such
as nc_put_var_float, nc_put_var_int, etc., if you want to avoid the type 
warnings.

From the symptoms you provided, I can't tell why a netCDF file wasn't written.  
Can
you use the ncgen utility to write netCDF files OK?  If so, that indicates the 
netCDF
library that ncgen was linked with is OK.  Was "make check" run on the source 
for
the netCDF distribution when it was built and installed?  If you can't diagnose 
the
problem, can you provide us with a small program that demonstrates the problem?

Thanks.
