Thanks for your comment!

Yes, I know about that. And I didn't try using it because ``./configure
--help`` says:

  --with-hdf4=<directory> Specify location of HDF4 library. Configure
    will expect to find subdirs include and lib.

And as I wrote, the libs are in /usr/lib, the headers in /usr/include/hdf.

So I tried anyways configuring using

--enable-netcdf4 --enable-hdf4 --enable-cxx-4 --enable-shared
--with-hdf4=/usr/include/hdf FC=gfortran

And, alas, the compilation seems to work :) However, when I then run
``make && make -j1 test``, I get the following error:


   *** Testing HDF4/NetCDF-4 interoperability...

What can I do about this?

Thanks for your insight,

Andreas.
