Howdy Andreas!
You have hit upon the weak spot of the --with-hdf4 option (and also the
--with-hdf5, --with-pnetcdf, --with-zlib, --with-szlib options). They
expect to find lib and include under the same directory. But this is not
always the case.
The answer is to not use the --with-hdf4 option, but instead, before
running configure, set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to include the appropriate
arguments:
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib ./configure --enable-hdf4 && make
check
Give this a try and let me know if it doesn't work for you.
Thanks!
