I think the reason no-one else has seen this problem is that those that are installing hdf are installing it as described in the compilation notes on OpenDX.org. libdf.a is in /usr/local/lib and the include files are in /usr/local/include/hdf

Hi Greg,
unfortunately did I try to run configure in a directory fresh unpacked from
the tarball.
With all the options to configure
  ./configure --with-hdf=/usr/local/hdf/
on the first try it tells me
checking for HDF components ...
checking for dfsd.h... no
checking for hdf/dfsd.h... no
checking for Hopen in -ldf... yes
checking if HDF package is complete... no -- some components failed test

and fails ...

I had similar problems doing the install on a linux box (SuSE 7.2/7.3
professionel). Actually there does not seem to be a difference between
--with-hdf=yes
or
--with-hdf=/usr/local/hdf/

Did nobody else ever encounter the problem?

 Its finding the old result for hdf - eg. before you added the --with-hdf
 argument, in the cache.  In the directory where you do the configure,
 remove config.cache (or edit it and remove each line that contains 'hdf').
 Then run configure again.  You shouldn't see the (cached) string when these
 tests are run.
