Re: [netcdfgroup] Issues with HDF5 1.8.10 and NetCDF 4.2.1.1: tst_parallel

Hi, for your information:

I am having the same problem on a Mac running OS X Mountain Lion using 
gcc/gfortran 4.7 from the Mac HPC website. I will try to use the older version 
as recommended, thanks for that.

Kind regards,

Dom

I have the exact same problem, I am currently trying to figure out exactly 
where it happens. But surely no update should be used. Keep the HDF5 1.8.9. 
Maybe this should be added in the README file for a quick user guidance.

Kind regards Nick

Folks,

I was wondering if you could help me out with a minor issue. I work on the 
GEOS-5 GCM model at NASA Goddard and our Base Libraries include HDF5 and 
NetCDF4 as we are planning to transition to using parallel NetCDF4 soon in the 
future.

At the moment, we are doing just fine testing/running with HDF5 1.8.9 and 
NetCDF 4.2.1.1, but I recently saw that HDF5 updated to 1.8.10 and I thought 
I'd test it in the interest of keeping up with current at least in my mind 
(I've gotten behind on libraries before). Plus, the INSTALL file does say: 
"Versions required are at least HDF5 1.8.8..."

However, I find that while NetCDF compiles just fine with HDF5 1.8.10, the 
"make check" tests are another matter. In particular, tst_parallel "hangs":

Testing very simple parallel I/O with 4 processors...

*** tst_parallel testing very basic parallel access.
*** tst_parallel testing whether we can create file for parallel access and 
write to it...

This hang happens with both Intel 11.0.083 + Intel MPI 3.2.2.006 and Intel 
13.0.0.079 + MVAPICH2 1.9a, so I don't think it's MPI-specific. Plus, those 
same combinations do "make check" just fine with HDF5 1.8.9+NetCDF 4.2.1.1 .

I looked at tst_parallel.c, a pretty simple program, and I couldn't see 
anything obvious so it's probably a bit more low-level than I can figure out at 
the moment.

Obviously, my "solution" at present is "don't upgrade HDF5 at the moment", but 
I was wondering if, perhaps, there is something simple I might be missing from 
a configure or make step that should be there but isn't and was only just 
exposed by HDF5 1.8.10.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks,
Matt Thompson
