VisAD accees to HDF is (currently) limited to HDF-EOS, which
requires a very complex set of native libraries.  So that is
probably limited to Sparc Solaris for a while.

However, I am happy to see your courage in taking on the
task of compiling the Vis5D native library on Linux.  First,
make sure you edit visad/data/vis5d/Makefile to add -DLITTLE
to CFLAGS.

This message is a little puzzling.  First, the SHLDFLAGS
defined in visad/data/vis5d/Makefile includes -G, so we
should see that before -z in your Message.  Second, we
should not see -L/usr/lib in the message.  Have you made
these changes to your visad/data/vis5d/Makefile?

Of course, I must defer to the real Unix experts like
Dave Glowacki.

Cheers,
Bill
