Ok, here is how to reproduce it on sparc with upstream hdf5-1.8.1: $ wget ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.1.tar.gz $ tar xzf hdf5-1.8.1.tar.gz $ cd hdf5-1.8.1 $ ./configure $ make [wait a while, then it compiles H5detect and calls it and it fails] $ cd src $ ./H5detect [...] Bus error So the problem is just getting hdf5 run on sparc. Looking at the Debian package hdf5, it does't have any sparc specific patches. Looking at the sparc buildlog for the hdf5 package, the H5detect works just fine in it (search for it): http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=hdf5;ver=1.6.6-4;arch=sparc;stamp=1207153381 So we just need to use this (older) hdf5 in Debian from paraview and it would solve all problems, because we will leave the portability of hdf5 to the hdf5 guys. :) Any volunteers to try to compile paraview with Debian hdf5, instead of the one in Utilities/hdf5? That would help a lot, since I am very busy with my thesis now. Thanks, Ondrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
