My hdf libs are installed at /usr/local/hdf (it is a symbolic link somewhere else) and if I run ./configure --prefix=/home/myhome/local --with-hdf=/usr/local/hdf/ where ls of /usr/local/hdf gives ls -l /usr/local/hdf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 23 Jan 14 16:09 /usr/local/hdf -> /someplace
ls -l /usr/local/hdf/ COPYING bin lib release_notes README include man where /usr/local/hdf is a symbolic link. ./configure always gives: checking for HDF components ... checking for dfsd.h... (cached) no checking for hdf/dfsd.h... (cached) no checking for Hopen in -ldf... (cached) yes checking if HDF package is complete... no -- some components failed test So what did I do wrong?
