Welcome to the Earthdata Forum! Here, the scientific user community and subject matter experts from NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs), and other contributors, discuss research needs, data, and data applications.
SeaDAS 8.3.0 now offers Windows users an option to access SeaDAS science processors through a docker image. You are welcome to give it a try -- https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/client_server
You are right that Band 9 needs to be read into the buffer (line 578) before Cirrus Band 9 can be read correctly at line 629. We fixed the bug and l2gen produced a valid rho_cirrus image.
Thanks for sharing your SeaDAS info. It says you are running on MacOS 10.16, which I doubt. Could you please find out your Mac version by "About This Mac" on the Apple menu?
I am able to run l2gen successfully on the above mentioned file with OCSSW V2022.3 on MacOS 12.6.
