To whom it may concern, I am trying to put an AVHRR data set in to netCDF format. While doing this, I enountered a problem with ncgen. In my input data file, I have declared a variable called - video_data(scan, samples, channels) where scan = UNLIMITED, samples = 2048, and channels = 5. When I execute ncgen, It defines all the dimentions, variables and attributes. Then when it starts storing video_data, it core dumps with segmentation fault. I did several different runs with changing the middle dimention to different values, and the results are shown below - When middle dimention, i.e., samples is <= 54, then it works fine. If it is more than 54, it core dumps with segmentation fault. Along with this letter, I am mailing the data file called avhrr.cdl and the session log containing the error message. Regarding the netCDF software I am using, I copied the file pub/netcdf.tar.Z about four weeks back, using anonymous FTP. I think the version number is 1.11. I will appreciate, if you will let me know what the problem is. Thank You. Lakshmi. Ph. (301) 513 - 1716. Email add - lkumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
