Starting with version 4.1.3, use of "--with-hdf5=/dir/for/hdf5" was dropped as
a configure
option, because
The use of the --with-hdf5 option (and similar ones like --with-zlib,
--with-szlib,
--with-pnetcdf, --with-hdf4) caused two serious bugs:
1 - No way for these options to work on platforms that have libraries in /lib
and
/lib64 for 32 and 64 bit builds.
2 - Caused problem for cross-compiles like the mingw32 build and builds on
some
supercomputers.
So the way to specify where HDF5 is installed now uses the configure arguments
(or environment variables) CPPFLAGS=/dir/for/hdf5/include and
LDFLAGS=/dir/for/hdf5/lib , as described here:
