Hi, I was trying to compile HDF4-4.2.16, I am not getting any error while doing make(even though there are a number of warnings), but when I do make check it says a number of tests have been failed. My system is: Linux version 5.19.0-46-generic (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04.1) icx: Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler 2023.1.0 (2023.1.0.20230320) ifort: (IFORT) 2021.9.0 20230302 [config.log](https://forum.hdfgroup.org/uploads/short-url/4eHQYTbjDdORuIIR8eHvHM0MRaJ.log) (118.0 KB) I have attached the log file. I am also attaching the output of make check. [check.txt](https://forum.hdfgroup.org/uploads/short-url/D6zeyycRfOUr09cI7hHz0ctPaj.txt) (2.1 MB) Commands used: ```auto $ export CC=icc $ export F77=ifort $ ./configure --with-szlib=$HOME/szip --enable-fortran $ make $ make check ``` I do not know what went wrong, in the config.log there are some errors, but I don’t know how to correct them. It will be great if anyone could help me. Thankyou ---

In config.log: ./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. The configure command has “–with-jpeg=/home/varsha/jpeg”. Does /home/varsha/jpeg/lib exist? If so, does it have libjpeg.so.9, or what files are in that directory? ---

Yes libjpeg.so.9 do exists. Other files are libjpeg.a, libjpeg.la, libjpeg.so and libjpeg.so.9 and libjpeg.so.9.5.0, there is also a folder named pkconfig with a file called libjpeg.pc. Thankyou ---

We looked over the log files again. There was some other “fatal errors” in config.log. Adding --enable-hdf4-xdr to your configure command may take care of those. Please give that a try. ---

Hi, I tried the command with -enable-hdf4-xdr, but I am still getting fatal errors in the config.log, in addition to this I am getting errors when I do the ‘make’ command. I am attaching the log file and output of make. Thank you.

Hi, @varsha.felzy First of all, you must disable Fortran. I have no issue with icx. See my GitHub [workflow](https://github.com/hyoklee/actions/blob/main/.github/workflows/linux-icx-auto-h4.yml) and [test result](https://github.com/hyoklee/actions/actions/runs/5612897388/job/15207690763). Pay attention to the following line in the workflow: ```auto ./configure --enable-shared --enable-hdf4-xdr --disable-fortran --disable-netcdf CXX="$(which icpx)" CC="$(which icx)" FC="$(which ifx)" ``` FC is not used but I added it in case you want to try Fortran. ---

Hi, This is still giving me errors when I do ‘make’ command, similar to what I was getting before. Thank you ---

Hi, @varsha.felzy ! Have you tried the latest patch release [1] or GitHub master branch [2]? It would be nice if you can duplicate the error using GitHub Action and share the link.
