Hi Jim.
Thanks.  I agree it's not finding it but I can't figure out why it isn't.
Cheers.

Hi John,

Looks like you are finding the hdf5 include files but not the library file.   
From your logs look in /usr/local/hdf5-1.8.5-macosx64-static/lib
for the file libhdf5.a or libhdf5.so    one of these should be present, if not 
there is your problem.   If so try linking to it with a small test program.

Greetings.

I am struggling to compile netcdf-4.1.1 on OSX 10.6.4 with hdf5 and fortran so 
I can build Dave Pierce's new ncview.  I have worked my way through some 
earlier problems and have come to this script:

#!/bin/bash
make distclean
#export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.5-macosx32-static"
export CC=/usr/bin/cc
export CFLAGS='-m32'
#export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran
export F77=gfortran
export FC=gfortran
export FCFLAGS=-qsuffix=cpp=f90
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf-4.1.1 --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-f90 
--with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.5-macosx32-static
#
#export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.5-macosx64-static"
#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf-4.1.1 --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-f90 
--with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.5-macosx64-static


This got me past some earlier problems with 32-bit fortran libraries (I think) 
but now I'm getting complaints about the hdf5 libraries even though they seem 
to be found for some things.

checking for manual-page index command...
checking hdf5.h usability... yes
checking hdf5.h presence... yes
checking for hdf5.h... yes
checking whether we should try to build netCDF-4... yes
checking for H5Fflush in -lhdf5... no
configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library. Configure with 
--disable-netcdf-4 or see config.log for errors.


I'm attaching the config.log for those who might care to look.  In the script 
above, you can see that I experimented with defining the LDFLAGS and this 
solved the problem of the missing -lhdf5 but introduced a bunch of other even 
stranger problems that made me think I was overriding some more basic library 
paths by specifying LDFLAGS.  Anyway, I couldn't figure out what those problems 
were so I backed up to this in hoping that someone out there would have a 
suggestion.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.
