Hi Tony, Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your question. We're short-handed due to vacations, and have a growing backlog of support questions, with only two developers available and an oversubscribed list of commitments. I was actually looking at your question when your "SECOND ATTEMPT" email arrived. We haven't been able to duplicate the problem here, but that may be because our only AIX platform is an old powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0, on which we still haven't installed HDF5-1.8.5. We haven't seen the problem you reported on any other of our testing platforms. We run different tests than the HDF5 tests, so it's not surprising that we could get different results. The problem you reported is a symptom of getting an error return from the HDF5 call in libsrc4/tst_h_files.c if (H5Dwrite(datasetid, native_typeid, mem_spaceid, file_spaceid, xfer_plistid, bufr) < 0) ERR; so my next step would be to rebuild with HDF5 detailed logging turned on by configuring with --enable-logging and making an initial call to set the HDF5 logging level to get more detail by calling nc_set_log_level(5); sometime before the error occurs. That will tell what HDF5 error is actually occurring. Or you could see it by using a debugger to descend into the HDF5 level calls. The person who would usually do this won't be back until Aug 13, but I'll try to investigate further before then ... --Russ > I installed hdf5-1.8.5.
