HDF persons:
I wanted to give you some feedback on HDF5 1.8-alpha on the Intel
MacBook.
Basically - wonderful!
I was able to download and install zlib, szlib, and then the hdf5 1.8
almost right off. The compile took less than 10 minutes on the
system, and passed all tests.
I am using the ifort fortran compiler from Intel, v9.1. Also, I
compiled with gcc version 4.0.1, build 5250. I am running Mac OS X
version 10.4.6.
The only very small problem I had came up when I tried to change the
install location after I had compiled it, I wanted to put everything
in /opt/local, instead of /usr/local.
When I tried to either redeploy or "make install prefix=/opt/local",
the libtool failed to change the location of the dynamic libs in the
tools like h5dump, h5ls, these kept looking
for the dynamic libraries in the ./build_directory/hdf5/lib, instead
of /opt/lib. The dynamic libraries were relocated to /opt/lib - but
the programs trying to load them dynamically had not been
correctly changed to reflect the new location.
However, I went back and re-configured the configure script with --
prefix=/opt/local, recompiled the whole library and found then that
the installation went perfectly.
Congrats - looking forward to the HDF5 - 1.8 version and now netCDF-4
based on top of that. I also appreciate the high level fortran stubs
- they are very important since I dont work
in C.
Best of luck.
