[gdal-dev] Compiling GDAL with HDF5 Support

[Etienne Tourigny]

are you using the gdalinfo that you installed? You can find this out with
which gdalinfo

to make sure that hdf5 support was builtin, try gdalinfo --formats

also when you did configure, did it give you any errors about hdf5?

and try gdalinfo --debug on <file.hdf>
