[netcdfgroup] NetCDF4 on an NEC

Fellow NetCDF users,

I am currently evaluating NetCDF on a number of platforms but I am
having difficulty with using NetCDF4 on a NEC SX-6.  I follow the
instructions and get everything compiled without any problems but I have
problems at runtime.  (I have tried both parallel and serial versions).

I have traced the problem to the new HDF5 library which fails on its own
make tests (and I can also use the NetCDF4 library using NetCDF3 classic
mode).  I have emailed the HDFgroup support but since NEC is not
supported by them there is not much they can do.

I am really after anyone out in NetCDF world who is on the bleeding edge
with NetCDF4 and is on an NEC.  The new NetCDF4 capabilities are really
useful and I have them running on Linux with no problems.  

Any pointers welcome.  I can provide the support request I emailed
help@xxxxxxxxxxxx if people need more details about the error.

Many thanks,

Tom
