Netcdf-c-4.8.1: failure in ncdump/test_rcmerge.sh

[bluebulu108]

Dear all,
I was installing netcdf-c-4.8.1 using following command line:

./configure --prefix=$DIR/netcdf LDFLAGS=-L$DIR/netcdf/lib CPPFLAGS=-I$DIR/netcdf/include --disable-netcdf4 --disable-dap

then I configured successfully and passed the “make” steps.

But when I used “make check”, I encountered an error:

FAIL: test_rcmerge.sh
PASS: tst_null_byte_padding.sh
PASS: test_unicode_directory.sh
PASS: test_unicode_path.sh
PASS: tst_inmemory_nc3.sh
PASS: tst_nccopy_w3.sh
PASS: test_keywords.sh

#netcdf
export NETCDF=$DIR/netcdf
export PATH=$NETCDF/bin:$PATH
export LIB=$NETCDF/lib

It is possible that there is an error in the make test related to test_rcmerge.sh. I found the following link by googling ‘FAIL: test_rcmerge.sh’.

current master fails with in ncdump test test_rcmerge.sh

Note: please review the I/O API documentation for instructions on how to build netCDF.
