-2.4.3 Red Storm known problems
-------------------------------
-For Red Storm, a Cray XT3 system, the yod command sometimes gives the
-message, "yod allocation delayed for node recovery". This interferes with
-test suites that do not expect seeing this message. To bypass this problem,
-I launch the executables with a command shell script called "myyod" which
-consists of the following lines. (You should set $RUNSERIAL and $RUNPARALLEL
-to use myyod instead of yod.)
-==== myyod =======
-#!/bin/sh
-# sleep 2 seconds to allow time for the node recovery else it pops the
-# message,
-# yod allocation delayed for node recovery
-sleep 2
-yod $*
-==== end of myyod =======
-
-For Red Storm, a Cray XT3 system, the tools/h5ls/testh5ls.sh will fail on
-the test "Testing h5ls -w80 -r -g tgroup.h5" fails. This test is
-expected to fail and exit with a non-zero code but the yod command does
-not propagate the exit code of the executables. Yod always returns 0 if it
-can launch the executable. The test suite shell expects a non-zero for
-this particular test, therefore it concludes the test has failed when it
-receives 0 from yod. To bypass this problem for now, change the following
-lines in the tools/h5ls/testh5ls.sh.
-======== Original =========
-# The following combination of arguments is expected to return an error message
-# and return value 1
-TOOLTEST tgroup-1.ls 1 -w80 -r -g tgroup.h5
-======== Skip the test =========
-echo SKIP TOOLTEST tgroup-1.ls 1 -w80 -r -g tgroup.h5
-======== end of bypass ========

-2.5.2 Hopper known issues
-------------------------------
-Issue 1:
-Sometimes when building the library with make, you might get this problem:
-
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`echo | \
-sed -e 's/-L/:/g' -e 's/
-//g'`" \
-./H5make_libsettings > H5lib_settings.c
-|| \
-(test $HDF5_Make_Ignore && echo "*** Error ignored")
-|| \
-(rm -f H5lib_settings.c ; exit 1)
-/bin/sh: line 4: 9644 Segmentation fault
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`echo | sed -e 's/-L/:/g' -e 's/
-//g'`" ./H5make_libsettings > H5lib_settings.c
-
-If that happens, you are probable running with make -j <x>. In that
-case, you need to cleanup everything and start again as detailed above
-but use serial make (do not use -j <x>).
-
-Issue 2:
-* When building using the Cray compilers on Cray machines, HDF5
- configure mistakenly thinks the compiler is an intel compiler and
- sets the -std=c99 flag which breaks configure on Cray. To build HDF5
- properly on a Cray machine, please consult with the instructions in
- INSTALL_parallel for building on Hopper.
- (MSC - 2013/04/26 - HDFFV-8429)
-
-Issue 3:
-* On hopper, the build failed when RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL are set
- to aprun -np X, because the H5lib_settings.c file was not generated
- properly. Not setting those environment variables works, because
- configure was able to automatically detect that it's a Cray system
- and used the proper launch commands when necessary.
