UPDATE:

I’ve gotten past the generic HDF4 Error with some help from CMAS

Here is what I was directed to do:  
Use h4dump (ncdump for h4 file in Spatial Allocator alias) to check the variable name in your file.

- The old MODIS file variable is: `Land_Cover_Type_1`

- The new MODIS file variable is: `LC_Type1`

**If you have new MODIS variable, you need to do this:**  
**In geo\_functions.cpp and in string getHDF4VarAttrInfo function:**

```
attStr = string ( attBuff );
//attStr.erase (count);

```

**In computeGridLandUse.cpp**  
`//MODIS tile land cover class variable: may change depending on NASA MODIS LC products`

```
//string modisVarName = string ( "Land_Cover_Type_1" );
string modisVarName = string ( "LC_Type1" );`

```

**Repeat what was done on computeGridLandUse.cpp to computeGridLandUse)beld4.cpp**  
Somehow, the new MODIS file “long\_name” attribute count is set to 100, not real char counts like before.

Run the make file in the `src/raster` directory

```
make clean
make
make install
```
