Dear all gadget users,
I encountered a very strange problems in the output in HDF5 format on Gadget3. In the snapshot body, there are pos, vel, pid etc. While all variables containing 3 columns (e.g. pos) are perfectly ok, all variables which should contain only one column, actually have 2 ! For example, the pid variable has 2 columns in it. In other words, it’s as if each particle had 2 pids. These numbers nor the couple is unique. Thus, the pid is completely out of control. The funny thing is that this problem occurs only when SnapFormat = 3. Everything works well when SnapFormat=1 (even though both used a binary with HAVEHDF5 enabled).
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before. My guess is that it’s either machine-related or compiler-related, because on another machine, the exact same code generates good snapshots.I also made sure I was using the same version of HDF5 static library (1.8.9) on both machines. I tried with version 1.6 and it’s the same problem. Robert Thompson has left a message couple of days ago on the hdf5 forum with no solution so far.

### How I compiled:
I basically followed instructions found on this page
http://www.hpcadvisorycouncil.com/pdf/GADGET-2_Best_Practices.pdf. There is no complaint while compiling.
### Here are some details about the machine where it doesn’t work:
-bash-4.1$ cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m
-bash-4.1$ uname -a
Linux pluto.ess.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp
2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 6 19:48:22 GMT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-bash-4.1$ mpicc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)
I attached the Makefile_pluto of gadget3.
Please let me know if you have an idea about this. Thank you by advance for your help.
Best,
Long
