This PKGBUILD no longer requires you to log into the HDF group's website and download HFView, makepkg can now do the download itself.

The format of the prebuilt release changed, the HDF group now provides an .rpm package, whereas previously it was a shell script installer. So this PKGBUILD changed considerably, let me know if there are any problems.

Thanks @MartinDiehl, it seems that's exactly what happened. The file size and checksum of the upstream release are different even though the name and version are identical.

Updated to the new checksum.

I got an checksum error. Would not be the first time that an HDFView-release is silently, i.e. without increasing the version number, updated

@ajkswamy it is working for me presently, so must be an issue specific to your setup.

Googling the error you're getting suggests a workaround might be to change your GTK theme.

You can run a single app with a different GTK theme using the GTK_THEME environment variable, so if that turns out to be the issue you could modify /usr/bin/hdfview to set the environment variable before running hdfview.sh, e.g.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
GTK_THEME=Adwaita /opt/HDFView/3.1.0/hdfview.sh -root $PWD "$@"

You also might try using the hdfview AUR package to build from source on your machine, in case the issue is specific to the build from the HDF group.

I tried to use this and I get the following error when I start HDFVIEW:
