[gdal-dev] Problems with HDF4

Ok, to follow up I got it figured out -- I needed to configure
--enable-shared for HDF4:

./configure --disable-fortran --disable-netcdf --enable-shared

It turns out I have another piece of software that required the HDF4
fortran libraries (which can't exist along with a shared library
install), so the two conflict with one another.  I'll install two
versions moving forward, unless someone has a better solution!
