Comment 1 for bug 126916

I have actually run into this problem and it manifests itself in Hardy with the gdal libs and -bin installed (1.4.4). I try to open or analyse ANY netcdf file and it gives me a segmentation fault, see attached .nc file which causes netcdf to segfault.

Downloading the gdal 1.4.4 source tarball and building it with (./configure; make) gives me an apps/gdalinfo binary which correctly reports the metadata of the file.

So this is a build problem which should really be fixed not only for Intrepid but also for Hardy itself - after all it's supposed to be a STABLE release. No need to upgrade any packages or mess with any dependencies - just please build the package correctly.
