Heya, Ed!
Thanks for your help, this now seems to work. Unfortunately, the build
doesn't successfully finish (yet), as I get the following error:
configure:25845: cc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/hdf -L/usr/lib
conftest.c -lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lm -lz -lhdf5 -lmfhdf -ldf -ljpeg
-lz >&5
/tmp/ccdQCasV.o: In function `main':
/home/MYHOME/tmp/software/build/libnetcdf4-4.1.1/conftest.c:109:
undefined reference to `H5Z_can_apply_szip'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
In total, there's several 'undefined reference's:
conftest.c:95: undefined reference to `_doprnt'
conftest.c:97: undefined reference to `strlcat'
conftest.c:109: undefined reference to `MPI_Comm_f2c'
conftest.c:108: undefined reference to `H5Pget_fapl_mpiposix'
conftest.c:108: undefined reference to `H5Pget_fapl_mpio'
conftest.c:109: undefined reference to `H5Z_can_apply_szip'
Which is strange, because all the libraries the cc links to (using the
-lXXX flags) do exist in /usr/lib ...
The undefined references to the MPI stuff could be because I have the
libhdf5-serial-1.8.4 package installed, and not the MPI version. And it
might also be that the Ubuntu package is not linked against szip ... Any
ideas?
Thanks for your insight,
Andreas.
