"apt-file search" searches the package lists, not the installed files.
If it shows nothing, that means you have probably forgotten to run
"apt-file update" recently. It lists the packages containing a given
file even if the package is not installed (would be quite useless
otherwise). To search the installed files (ie. list which package, if
any, a given file on your system came from), you want "dpkg -S".

Once you fix your apt-file it should show you that:
$ apt-file search libmfhdf.so
libhdf4-0: /usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.0
libhdf4-0: /usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.0.0.0
libhdf4-dev: /usr/lib/libmfhdf.so

So, install libhdf4-dev

You can use apt-file to find the packages for these as well.
- df is included in libhd4-dev that you installed above.
- ogdi is in libogdi3.2-dev
- netcdf is in libnetcdf-dev
- pq is in libpq-dev
- dl is in libc6-dev (probably already installed)
- gssapi_krb5 is in libkrb5-dev

Also note, installing libgdal1-dev would have pulled in most of these
automatically.
