This issue is coming from HDF5. It is a known issue with upstream and they will provide a new release. Until then, Bill has a fix. We need to apply that patch until HDF5 fixes the issue.

@billhoffman adding you to this issue as a reminder for me to get your patch applied locally.

This might be something different. ninja: error: stat(libpng.so): Too many levels of symbolic links does not sound like hdf5 command line problem:

billhoffman/hdf5@8fa0af3

[dstoup]

That message always shows up with libpng. The error I saw was the insanely long hdf5 install command that we looked at a few weeks ago ( I believe ). I will run again and post the output On Aug 15, 2017 5:01 PM, "Bill Hoffman" <notifications@github.com> wrote: This might be something different. ninja: error: stat(libpng.so): Too many levels of symbolic links does not sound like hdf5 command line problem: billhoffman/hdf5@8fa0af3 <billhoffman/hdf5@8fa0af3> — You are receiving this because you commented.

OK, then my fix will fix it.

Correction, it looks like both packages are causing an issue. I will look into libpng and will sync up with you about the HDF5 issue. On Tue, Aug 15, 2017 at 5:47 PM, David Stoup <david.stoup@kitware.com> wrote:
