[MINC-users] pyminc and hdf5

[Mishkin Derakhshan]

Hi,

I am getting this HDF5 warning/error when I try to run a very simple
python program using pyminc:

The minimal program that creates the error:
#! /usr/bin/python
import pyminc.volumes.factory as pyminc
inputfilename = "t1.minc2.posdir.mnc"
outputfilename = "copy.mnc"
infile = pyminc.volumeFromFile(inputfilename)
outfile = pyminc.volumeLikeFile(inputfilename, outputfilename)
outfile.writeFile()
outfile.closeVolume()
infile.closeVolume()

The error:
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.4-patch1) thread 0:
  #000: ../../../src/H5T.c line 2120 in H5Tset_size(): size must be positive

The error with PYMINCDEBUG set:

Sample input file that gives the error:
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/users/mishkin/files/t1.minc2.posdir.mnc

I only get the error for my own acquired data, but using something
like the icbm_152 volume I don't get the error. I've looked for
anything funny about my sample input file but haven't spotted
anything. Perhaps someone who understands the HDF5 error a bit better
can help?

thanks,
