problem installing hdf5 libraries

Hi all,

I want to read netcdf files in fortran program.
I have gone through the following webpage--
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html

So, in order to install netcdf-fortran libraries, I understood that, I
should first install netcdf-C libraries. So, I followed the steps mentioned
in the following link--

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html

Accordingly, I successfully installed zIib. I am now unable to install hdf5
1.8.13. I am getting the following errors after executing---
$ ./configure --with-zlib=/home/ed/local --prefix=/home/ed/local
$ sudo make check install

The errors are---
              Testing h5dump --enable-error-stack -y -o tall-6.txt -d
/g1/g1.1/dset1 PASSED
h5dump tests failed with 8 errors.
Command exited with non-zero status 1

Hello Kameshwari,

While I can’t see which tests failed in the output below, my first guess is that the tests
are failing due to a dependency issue with running “make check install”. There is a known
issue where the tools are not built when the tests are run, causing a failure.

If this is the issue, then building like this should solve the problem:

./configure --with-zlib=/home/ed/local --prefix=/home/ed/local
make >& make.out
make check >& check.out
make install

(If the .out file looks okay, go to the next step.)

If you are still having issues, let me know!
