error: module not found: jarhdf

When I was trying to build HDFview3.1.3 from source in Ubuntu 18.04, I get the error information as:

I do not know how to find the missed module jarhdf and jarhdf5.

Thanks in advance!

Those files are from the installation of hdf4 and hdf5 (or if you have built them, then the location of the jar files).
The build.properties file uses environment variables for those locations.

Hello.

I have the same error. What is the exact files we have to find? is it really jarhdf5 or is it jhdr5.jar? I do not find any jarhdf5 or jarhdf even when building from the source. However I find some jhdf.jar and jhdf5.jar which are not in my path since I use /usr/lib64 as a path and this file are in usr/lib/java.
I tried to make a copy whitout success in usr/libs64/java

Any idea?

Thanks

Maybe it’s because of compiling hdf4 via CMake-hdf-4.2.15 .

There’s a small minor bug to take note of, that can cause a missing jarhdf : See Jarhdf5 not found
