Hello, I'm trying to install hdf5-1.8.7 on Mac OSX 10.6.8. Following the instructions in the INSTALL file, I type: sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 sudo make sudo make check from within the hdf5-1.8.7 subdirectory of /usr/local/. The make check seems to work okay until it says

[Hdf-forum] Does the fletcher32 filter apply to individual chunks, or to the whole file?

2012-02-14 Thread Diot Sebastien
Will the fletcher32 filter tell me that the whole file is corrupt if any of it is, or will it only tell me if I access individual corrupt chunks? Also, with the split driver, can I use this filter for the metadata file only, but not for the datafile? MfG / Regards, Sebastien Diot

2012-02-14 Thread Diot Sebastien
If I have a simulation running that manages 3D data, and where some of the data will change after every simulation cycle, and I want to be able to keep track of the changes, so that I could go back in time to a previous state, and restart from there in case of a programming bug, how do I best

Hi! I've discovered HDF5 last week and spent the week-end reading the user guide. Unfortunately I still have many unanswered questions; I will post them as separate emails, so they can be answered individually. My fist and most critical question is, with the currently available version of the

[Hdf-forum] How do I best simulate a 3D dataset that would also extend in the negative range?

2012-02-14 Thread Diot Sebastien
If I have an infinite 3D dataspace, starting at (0,0,0), but that should be able to extend both in positive and negative coordinates indefinitely, how to I do this? Do I have to split it in 8 different dataspaces? OTOH, I don’t think I need to extend to the limit of the integer range, so would it

According to the Error message your system can not create the file. Is there a file of the same name that is still open in another application perhaps? Do you have write permissions to what ever directory you are trying to create the file in?
