You seem to be using python from python.org and distutils is calling gcc4.0. There are some things I'd try: Check output of gcc -v. If it's 4.2 it will default to buidling a 64-bit hdf5 that won't be usable. You'll have to specify either -arch i386 or CC when configuring. Use the file command to determine the archs of ../hdf5-1.8.4/hdf5/lib/libhdf5.dylib (or similar). Try installing hdf5 to /usr/local, I've generally had the most success with this. I'm not at a Mac at the moment, I'll have a look later on.
