Hi Tim,
To my knowledge, the instructions for installing VisAD on the VisAD FAQ should
work. I'm in the middle of some things right now, but I'll double check that
as soon as I get a spare moment. It sounds like your problems are stemming
from the HDF-5 errors. Please check to see whether your VisAD distribution
included the ncsa/hdf/hdf5lib package. If so, try to compile it with "javac
*.java" in that directory.
