[MINC-users] HDF5-1.8.5 vs HDF5-1.8.5-patch1

[Andrew Wood]

Hi All,

I ran into a problem running minc commands on gzipped files (I'm using a
locally-built MINC 2.1 and HDF5-1.8.5-patch1):

$ mincinfo icbm_avg_152_t1_tal_nlin_symmetric_VI_mask.mnc.gz
 (from miexpand_file): Cannot uncompress the file
mincinfo: Error expanding file
"icbm_avg_152_t1_tal_nlin_symmetric_VI_mask.mnc.gz"


The interesting thing is that when I rebuilt minc against hdf5-1.8.5
(without the patch), things run as they should:
$ mincinfo icbm_avg_152_t1_tal_nlin_symmetric_VI_mask.mnc.gz
file: icbm_avg_152_t1_tal_nlin_symmetric_VI_mask.mnc.gz
image: unsigned short 0 to 65535
image dimensions: zspace yspace xspace
    dimension name         length         step        start
    --------------         ------         ----        -----
    zspace                    193            1          -74
    yspace                    229            1         -132
    xspace                    193            1          -96

Maybe a minc bug? Maybe something broke in hdf5? I thought it was worth
mentioning in either case.

Regards,
Andrew
