I tried running the ncdump utility built from netcdf-4.0.1.tar.gz, (using "--enable-netcdf-4" in the configure step when building) and it worked OK on the file you attached. Maybe when you built netcdf-4.0.1, you just used all the defaults without specifying "--enable-netcdf-4", in which case you would not be able to read netCDF-4 files, only netCDF classic and 64-bit offset files. The file you attached was a netCDF-4 file. For more information about the different format variants for netCDF, see the FAQ section "Formats, Data Models, and Software Releases": http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/faq.html#formats-and-versions --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DXK-228962 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
