I dont know anything about packaging for ubuntu (though I am willing to learn if you can point me in the right direction).
This morning I upgraded to jaunty alpha 6 and compiled hdf5-1.8.2 from source. There were two issues, both covered at http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/known_problems5.html: 1) edit the ./perform/zip_perf.c file in the source and change line 552 to: output = open(filename, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, S_IRWXU); 2) edit ./config/gnu-flags file in the HDF5 source code and setting PROD_CFLAGS from "-O" to "-O0". Here is the code that needs to be modified: gcc-3.[0-4]*|gcc-4.[0123]*) # The optimization level is reduced for gcc 3.* and 4.* due to problems # with code generation for src/H5Tconv.c with the -O2 & -O3 # optimization levels (which shows up as failures for various integer # types -> long long conversions in the test/dtypes test). Perhaps # later versions of gcc will fix this bug... - QAK - 2003/10/20 PROD_CFLAGS="-O0" ;; After making these two changes, I ran: ./configure --enable-threadsafe --with-pthreads=/usr --prefix=/usr/local make make test sudo make install All tests pass -- [needs packaging] please include hdf5-1.8 in jaunty jackalope https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
