Hi All, As far as I can tell from web-searches, convert_hdfeos5 is the HDF-recommended/supported way to convert HDF5-EOS files to netCDF4. (It's unclear whether/how convert_hdfeos5 differs from 'h4toh5 -eos -nc4strict'. I want to use whichever method HDF Group recommends/supports, though I would actually settle to get either working.) So I grabbed the latest version, eos52nc4-1.1 and... On my Ubuntu 11.04 Natty x86_64 system with all software installed from the Ubuntu repositories, configuring convert_hdfeos5 fails (below). The error message is not helpful. How can I build convert_hdfeos5 on Ubuntu? Does anyone have Debian/Ubuntu packages for convert_hdfeos5 or h4toh5? Any guidance apreciated, Charlie zender@neige:/data/zender/tmp/eos52nc4-1.1$ ./configure CC=/usr/bin/h5cc --with-hdf5=/usr/lib --with-hdfeos5=/usr/lib --with-netcdf4=/usr/lib checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... /usr/local/bin/h5cc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether /usr/local/bin/h5cc accepts -g... yes checking for /usr/local/bin/h5cc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make...
