Error loading the file

[talesa]

Hi!

I'm encountering an error when loading a file using pysatCDF.CDF(filename): ValueError: failed to create intent(cache|hide)|optional array-- must have defined dimensions but got (0,256,)

I'm on MacOS, using python 3.5.

It seems like a fortrany error and I have no idea how to debug this, any hints/advice?

Could it be related to the fact that I am using libgfortran.4.dylib instead of libgfortran.3.dylib?

Full traceback:

Thanks for reporting the issue. It could be related to the use of a different fortran library. I'll give the fortran code a once over in coming week.

Hi talesa,

So I haven't been able to reproduce your error yet. I've installed the latest gcc with libgfortran.4.dylib but I am still able to load CDF files. Does pysatCDF pass unit tests on your system? Can you try nosetests -vs pysatCDF ? Thanks.

A new version was released to pypi that builds on individual systems, reducing any possible leaks of my own build environment.
