Yeah, we like not to have to carry older library versions forward for new OS X 
and encourage maintainers to update their packages to utilize newer ones 
instead.

If you want to attempt a quick local update to HDF yourself, it’s a pretty 
straightforward process (no guarantees, though):

1)  cp /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/hdf.* 
/sw/fink/10.7/local/main/finkinfo
(you may need to use ‘sudo’, depending on the permissions of the directories).  
The local tree is preferred.

2)  Edit  /sw/fink/10.7/local/main/finkinfo in your favorite text editor and 
change all occurrences of ‘gcc48' to ‘gcc49'.  I recommend changing the 
Revision to something fractional, like 1003.1, so that when Kurt releases the 
official update at Revision: 1004 you’ll be able to install that automatically.

3) fink install hdf

If 3) doesn’t work then post back with the error and we can try to debug things.
