Bug#554244: libgdal1-1.3.2: /usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.4 and /us..

Package: libgdal1-1.3.2
Version: 1.3.2-4
Severity: important

/usr/lib/libgdal1.3.2.so refers to both /usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.4 and
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.3, both of which define functions with identical
names, in particular NC_check_id. The problem is that each of these
libraries has its own copy of certain data structures, and if both are
loaded terrible things happen, like netcdf initializing certain data
structures with its own functions and reading them with mfhdf's
functions.

The consequence is that it is impossible to write CDF files with
gdal_translate:
$ /usr/bin/gdal_translate -of gmt elevation.tif foo.gmt
Input file size is 101, 101
netcdf: 3 is not a valid cdfid

(What happens is that NetCDF checks a variable called cdfid against a
list of open files... except that it calls the function from HDF to
perform the check, which fails.)

This is a known incompatibility, for which one can either disable HDF support
in GDAL, or build HDF without including its own NetCDF implementation,
as explained here:
