Errors relate to HDF5 during 'make check' process: hdf5open.c:873:6: error: use of undeclared identifier 'H5FD_ros3_fapl_t' about netcdf-c

[WardF]

It looks like something is not linking properly; do you have the config.log file generated when you ran configure?

Hi Ward,

Thanks very much for the helps, I appended the whole file of 'config.log' generated during config process.
config.log

It looks like the instruction to link against libhdf5 is somehow not being passed along when building the tests as part of make check. Can you provide the output from ldd liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.so? Also, you might try this from the command line when running make check:

$ LIBS="-lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl" make check

Thanks very much for the reply.
This weekend I won't be able to go to the lab due to other commitments, but I will append the file: libnetcdf.so and try out your suggestion on Monday as soon as possible. Thanks for the helps.

Hi Ward,

I tried to run ldd liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.so, but the address seems different on my machine, so I locate the libnetcdf.so file, and there are multiple files :

jin@KUKAI:~$ locate libnetcdf.so
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.so
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.19

I'm not sure which one should I run the ldd on, I assumed /usr/local/src/netcdf-c-4.9.2/lib/libnetcdf.so is the correct one and run ldd on it :

[BiChong-Jin]

And also I retried the make check with your suggestion $ LIBS="-lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl" make check, but I still got errors that looks similar compare to previous time :
LIBS="-lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl make check.txt

[WardF]

You'll want to run ldd against the copy of libnetcdf.so you are compiling; it won't be any of the versions generated and distributed by other packages. After compiling, it typically resides in the netcdf-c/liblib/.libs directory; sorry for not being more specific. You'll want to look in the folder you are compiling in, and then it will be liblib/.libs

[BiChong-Jin]

Thanks very much for the reply.

I rechecked the directories and this is the directory where I install/ compiled netcdf : /usr/local/src/netcdf-c-4.9.2/,

And from the image, there is no dir named 'liblib', but has a 'lib' dir. And inside 'lib' dir there is a file named libnetcdf.so:

On the other hands, I checked the directory where I downloaded netcdf: /home/jin/Downloads/netcdf-c-4.9.2/:

And inside this, there is a dir named 'liblib', so I also checked it, but there is no libnetcdf.so inside:

So as a conclusion, did I made some mistakes or the libnetcdf.so from /usr/local/src/netcdf-c-4.9.2/lib/ should be the correct one maybe? Here is the information after I run ldd against that file :
ldd_info.txt

[WardF]

This is very peculiar; your build system is finding libhdf5, and purports to be linking against it (from the config.log file you provided). But the ldd output you provided shows no link to it. Can you share the contents of ${H5DIR}/lib? Also, can you share the output if you run /usr/local/src/netcdf-c-4.9.2/nc-config --libs and /usr/local/src/netcdf-c-4.9.2/nc-config --all ?

[BiChong-Jin]

Sorry for being late, we found out someone accidentally deleted the files inside the /src dir in the past few days, so my installed zlib and hdf5 dir were also deleted. I think the reason all these errors above is because of that. I have to reinstall all the related libraries : zlib, hdf5. I will do it as fast as I can and hope this time it will work well, if not, I may again ask some questions. Thank you very much Ward for all these helps.

[BiChong-Jin]

Just some updates on the compilation of netcdf.

I have reinstalled all the related files(zlib, hdf5), successfully installed both of them. But, still could not pass the 'make check' process of netcdf-c, and I also used ifort and icx for the compiler this time.

So next I decided to change the compiler to gcc and gfortran. And finally, successfully installed netcdf.
Again, thanks so much for all the helps.
