ImageViewer Crash

Hi,

I am trying to open a gridded HDF-4/ HDF-EOS 2 dataset as an Image, but I am getting the following error:

*** Error occurred while instantiating ImageView class ***

I am using HDFView 3.3.1 installed to my user directory - MacOS.

Thanks!

Christine

This seems to be a new issue, which has been experienced by a few users.
I will be investigating it as soon as I can and get it resolved before the next release this spring.

Is it possible to provide us with a file to reproduce this issue? If it’s public, you can just point us at it. Thank you!

@gsong Sure thing. I just downloaded a day product, MOD08_D3 and received the same error. MOD08_D3.A2024057.061.2024061020430.hdf

@christine.n.brown-st , would you please tell us the output of your system environement?

Here’s a sample output of mine:

I could not duplicate the error on my mac.

It would be also very helpful which dataset you tried to open in MOD08_D3 file.
I tried “Cloud_Fraction_Mean” dataset and I could see an image without crash.

Huh… I don’t have openjdk… I need it? Installing now just in case.

Thanks for the additional information!
We have another ARM64 Mac user who reported the same issue.

HDFView inculdes a runtime in the package.

Installing openjdk did not work
