Hyperslab Selection Core Dump On Dataset With More Than 3 Dimensions
If you have a 4 or more dimension dataset, when the second or fourth dimensions are selected, i.e. thecount [1] = dim [1], count [3] = dim [3], and all other count = 1, HDF5 will core dump.
Problem building HDF5 on IBM p690 (NCSA copper machine)
The problem is due to a bug in the zlib library on IBM. Inside zlib.h, it re-defines "const" and that causes a compiler error in H5Zdeflate.c.To manually fix this problem, go to H5Zdeflate.c and change:
#ifdef H5_HAVE_ZLIB_H #include "zlib.h" #endifinto
#ifdef H5_HAVE_ZLIB_H #include "zlib.h" #ifdef const #undef const #endif #endif
Linux 2.4 and gcc 3.2
HDF5 is NOT supported with gcc 3.2 and Linux 2.4. Use gcc 3.2.2 or greater, instead.The hyperslab selection tests fails and h5dump displays incorrect data in some cases. Other mysterious selection problems may also occur.
Problem with HDF5 and Version 8 of Code Warrior
