OK, I've built HDF4, hdf5, netcdf myself (without netcdf inside HDF4).

Then configured using:
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fwtools --with-netcdf=/usr/local/fwtools --with-hdf4=/usr/local/fwtools --with-hdf5=/usr/local/fwtools --with-curl=/usr/local/fwtools/bin/curl-config

Now I get this error compiling gdal/hdf5dataset.cpp:

/usr/local/fwtools/include/H5Gpublic.h: In static member function `static GDALDataset* HDF5Dataset::Open(GDALOpenInfo*)':
/usr/local/fwtools/include/H5Gpublic.h:77: error: too few arguments to function `hid_t H5Gopen2(hid_t, const char*, hid_t)'
hdf5dataset.cpp:243: error: at this point in file
/usr/local/fwtools/include/H5Gpublic.h: In function `herr_t HDF5CreateGroupObjs(hid_t, const char*, void*)':
/usr/local/fwtools/include/H5Gpublic.h:77: error: too few arguments to function `hid_t H5Gopen2(hid_t, const char*, hid_t)'

As I said before, I cannot configure gdal without any hdf or netcdf because it still tries to link to them anyway.

And others have pointed out that using your own path for them still tries to link with the system libraries!!!

How is everyone else building this thing successfully?
