netCDF and AIX

["R.Bauer" <R.Bauer(at)fz-juelich.de>]

Hi,

we have a lot of problems reading netCDF files with idl on AIX.
If I use one of the following commands in an idl session I will get a
coredump
reading a netcdf File by AIX.

I have no problems with Win NT and Linux IDL.



Who else is using netCDF with AIX-Platform and IDL? Am I alone?




One of these commads gives a core dump during ncdf_error
This routine is quite simple: open, close
1)
widget_control,default_font='-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-60-*-*'
2) device,decomposed=0
3) window,0,xsize=100,ysize=100,color=256


PRO ncdf_error

widget_control,default_font='-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-60-*-*'
 device,decomposed=0
 window,0,xsize=100,ysize=100,color=256
   FOR ii=0,2000 DO BEGIN
      PRINT,ii
      file_name = 'ncdf_error.nc'
      cdfid = NCDF_OPEN(file_name,/NOWRITE) ; OPEN the file
      NCDF_CLOSE,cdfid
   ENDFOR
END
