HDF5 view on Mac

HDFView / Java HDF Object Package
1

Hello,

I downloaded the zip file for my Mac from
http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf-java-html/hdfview/. But when I try to install
the "hdfview_install_maxosx_intel64" file, it gives me the following error
message " "hdfview_install_maxosx_intel64" is damaged and can't be opened.
You should move it to the Trash".

Can I not install HDF5view on Mac?

Thank you,
Pradeep

We have seen this issue before. Below is a description of the issue as we
understand it. Could this be the problem that you are encountering?:

···

=========================================================================
  On Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), HDFView 2.8 fails to install with error
  that file is damaged and can't be opened
  =========================================================================

  Occasionally users have encountered an issue installing HDFView on Mac OS
  X 10.8, receiving an error that the install file is damaged and can't be
  opened. If you encounter this error, re-install HDFView using Apple's zip
  utility. Do this by right-clicking on the zip file and selecting "Open
  With -> Archive Utility.app". Alternatively, use unzip in a Terminal
  window. (This issue is an Apple bug.)

For fun, I tried too, both the 32 and 64 bit versions. I tried unzipping with both Archive Utility and 'unzip' in Terminal. In all cases, I can't launch any of them. In Console, I see:

Hi Sean,

Can you try downloading the pre-built version of HDF-Java for
the Macintosh to see if you can run HDFView with it? (In other words,
try running HDFView *without* using InstallAnywhere.)

You can get that from here:

   http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/hdf-java/bin/

Go into the appropriate directory (eg. macintel64/ ) and download hdf-java-2.9-bin.tar.

Once you untar the hdf-java-2.9-bin.tar file, go into the bin/ directory
and edit the hdfview.sh script. Make sure that HDFVIEW_HOME and JAVAPATH point to the correct locations. Then run hdfview.sh.

Does that work?

Hello Barbara,

this seems to work when I am inside the bin folder (say)
$HOME/hdf-java/bin. Where should my environment variables HDFVIEW_HOME and
JAVAPATH should be pointing to exactly to run HDFview from anywhere?

Thanks,
Pradeep
