Attached is a minimal example that demonstrates the failure: - empty main() in a .c that #include's hdf5.h (to confirm headers work)
- the ax_lib_hdf5.m4 macro from the current autoconf-archive package - configure.ac with enough boiler plate to run the AX_LIB_HDF5 macro - Makefile.am to compile main.c with configure's compiler and linker flags - runme.sh to run through the auto* tools, then run configure and make, and then clean up if that all worked. When configure runs link tests on libhdf5 they will fail, but those tests failing are not fatal for the configure script. make will then fail when linking for the same reason: h5cc reports the wrong LDFLAGS. -Kipp
