In other words, netCDF-4 is not the typical HDF5 user, so perhaps you don't want to generalize any netCDF-4 solution to the broader HDF5 community. Let's explore the issue of not using h5cc, and see how difficult it would be. To compile I need -I paths (for include files), -L paths (for library files), and the names of the libraries. Is it true that there is more than one library involved? Ed -- Ed Hartnett -- ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
