I asked our IT person to update icedtea. If that happens I'll try it again.

I believe HDF is open source.  Here is an excerpt from the site.....

  HDF is open-source and the software is distributed at no cost. Potential
users can evaluate HDF without any financial investment. Projects that adopt
HDF are assured that the technology they rely on to manage their data is not
dependent upon a proprietary format and binary-only software that a company may
dramatically increase the price of, or decide to stop supporting altogether.
