pre-release: parallel-netcdf 1.0.2pre1

[Patrick Jöckel]

Dear developers,

testing 1.0.2pre1 on AIX5.3, 

with

   setenv OBJECT_MODE 64
   setenv MPICC  mpcc_r
   setenv MPIF77 mpxlf_r
   setenv F77    xlf
   setenv FC     xlf
   setenv CC     xlc
   setenv CXX    xlC
   setenv CFLAGS -q64
   setenv FFLAGS -q64
   setenv F90FLAGS -q64
   setenv CXXFLAGS -q64

configure shows the following problem:

...
checking for working alloca.h... yes
checking for alloca... yes
checking for struct stat.st_blksize... yes
checking for IEEE floating point format... yes
checking for size_t... yes
./configure[5919]: test: argument expected
./configure[5967]: test: argument expected
./configure[6015]: test: argument expected
checking for MPI_Request_get_status... yes
checking for MPI_Type_dup... yes
checking if MPI includes MPI_COMBINER_DUP... yes
checking if MPI includes MPI_COMBINER_HVECTOR_INTEGER... yes
...

The compilation is, nevertheless successful, however the tests fail:

make testing
        cd nc_test && make testing
        ./nc_test -c
ERROR: 0031-250  task 0: Segmentation fault
make: The error code from the last command is 139.


Stop.
make: The error code from the last command is 2.


Stop.
make: The error code from the last command is 2.


Stop.

The resulting executables all terminate with
     ERROR: 0031-250  task 0: Segmentation fault

Yours,

     Patrick
