[Gdal-dev] need help compiling GDAL with HDF5 support

Hello.  I am trying to ultimately trying to build Grass with the ability
to readHDF5 files.  I tried to compile GDAL with HDF5 support and ran
into problems in the compilation process.  I believe that the HDF5 build
process was successful, because the HDF5 utilities like gif2h5 are now
available on my system.  

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Dan Gillespie

.......................

Here are some specifics:

Red Hat Linux
GDAL:		gdal-cvs-2006.03.29
HDF5:		hdf5-1.6.5

Here is the configuration file:

./configure --with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5/hdf5-1.6.5/hdf/bin --with-php

Here is some of the output items from the configure step that appears to
relate
to HDF5:

checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
checking for H5Fopen in -lhdf5... no

GDAL is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
