Dear list members,
I'm trying to install meep and keep running into the same problem.
During the configure step I get the following error:
WARNING: Couldn't find the HDF5 library!! Switching to --without-hdf5.
I have in fact installed the HDF5 library by running the installer from
the hdf5 website for linux (I am running suse10.0)
At the end of the HDF5 install I get the following cryptic message:
> Libraries have been installed in:
> /home/cstevens/installers/hdf5-1.6.5/hdf5/lib
>
> If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries

I do not have a clue what do with this information - how can I tell the
meep configure command where the hdf5 libraries are - I've added the
location to /etc/ld.so.conf but nothing has changed. I haven't a clue
how I should use libtool to my advantage here but as I've never really
instaleld from sources before it's probably my lack of knowledge here.
Can anyone help me out with a pointer of how to get over this hurdle ?
best regards
Chris
