Installing hdfview

Manoj_Vaghela · April 17, 2008, 11:52am

Hi All,

I am a new user to HDF. I tried to install HDFView with source binary
file, "hdfview_install_linux_vm.bin" on Fedora 7 distribution. Though on
Fedora Core 2, I could successfully install it, it gave errors on Fedora 7.

It gave me following error:

[root@euler]# ./hdfview_install_linux_vm.bin

Can anyone please tell me what should be done to install hdfview on Fedora 7
??

Thank you.

I'm surprised you can type anything at all and it works. Those errors
say that simple commands like "ls" and "awk" can't find, among others,
the C libraries which are the base of any Linux system.

Try typing "ldconfig" and then running again.

Dear Manoj,

this is from memory so it might not be applicable, but I think the
solution to your problem is posted on the hdfgroup website, see
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/known_problems5165.html
under
"HDFView will not install on Linux 2.6"

basically you have to comment out the instruction

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

whenever it pops up in a bin file

I suggest using ghex to edit the bin file. It is available from the
standard repositories

If after solving this you run into a another problem /Assertion
'c->xlib.lock' failed/ then use
/#export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1

see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 for a more
detailed description of this java bug
