Hi Ed,

Can I ask why the option exists if it shouldn't be used?  Is it going to go 
away in the future or will it be fixed.  I have used --with-FOO in preference 
to setting the environment under the assumption that it is more robust and I 
think that's a reasonable assumption.

Thanks,
Stephen.

Howdy all!

The --with-hdf5= parameter to configure is not the correct way to tell
netCDF where the HDF5 library is.

Instead, set environmental variables CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, like this:

export CPPFLAGS=-I$PRO_PATH/Hdf5-1.8.7/include
export LDFLAGS=-L$PRO_PATH/Hdf5-1.8.7/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PRO_PATH/Hdf5-1.8.7/lib

THen run configure. Don't forget to do a make distclean first.

Good luck.

Ed
