Hi:

I am having the following errors when I was compiling GDAL with HDF4 on 
a 64bits Linux server:
==========================
Command:
 >./configure 
--prefix=/nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/mims/sa_06_2009/src/libs/gdal-1.6.1/local 
--with-static-proj4=/nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/mims/sa_06_2009/src/libs/proj-4.6.1/local 
--with-hdf5=/nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/mims/sa_06_2009/src/libs/hdf5-1.8.3/local 
--with-hdf4=/nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/mims/sa_06_2009/src/libs/HDF4.2r4/local 
--without-curl --without-expat --without-mysql --without-dwgdirect 
--without-odbc --without-python

Error:

===========================

I compiled HDF4 with: --disable-netcdf --disable-fortran and I did not 
compile GDAL with netcdf.  When I got rid of HDF4 in gdal configure, the 
configuration went through.

The config.log has a lot of errors related to conftest.c like:
================
configure:7122: checking how to run the C preprocessor
configure:7162: gcc -E  conftest.c
configure:7168: $? = 0
configure:7199: gcc -E  conftest.c
conftest.c:8:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:7205: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
===============


Could you tell me what went wrong in this gdal compiling with hdf4 ?

Thanks,

Limei
