While running the ctest command, one of the tests (10/18) throws an error.

I encountered the same issue with

• Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
• netcdf-cxx4 (v4.3.1)

[ZedThree]

I think this is because the test hardcodes the use of the BZIP2 filter, which might not be available. If it just used the deflate filter, that should always be available

I believe I have met this error again

The other 17 tests pass. What are possible workarounds? Do I need to load any specific modules?
