pyhdf

Has anyone had success installing the pyhdf library with python 2.4
under linux 2.6.18 (debian)? I have installed the HDF library and
development package from apt and have downloaded the pyhdf
installation files.

I've had failures in two ways:

1) When I install, I do not wish to use the szip library, so I disable
it in the setup.py. The install finishes and I try to use the library:

>>from pyhdf.SD import *

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyhdf/SD.py", line 991, in ?
import hdfext as _C
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyhdf/hdfext.py", line 4,
in ?
import _hdfext
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyhdf/_hdfext.so:
undefined symbol: SDgetcompress

2) So I try it with szip enabled. I download the source for the
library and ./configure it. Make it. Then Make install it. I then try
to install the pyhdf package.

$ sudo python setup.py install

Re: pyhdf

Hi, I can't help here, just a recommendation:

I am using pytables (http://www.pytables.org) build upon hdf5. If
you're not bound to hdf4, go and try pytables instead of pyhdf.

I've had success with PyTables, which is a wrapper for HDF5. Or are we not
talking about the same HDF? :)
