Hi Alan,

as Eric wrote - GRASS 5 binaries currently don't include
HDF support. However, in source code you will find a working
HDF3.2-based r.in.hdf. As this is quite behind the current
HDF5 we didn't included it into the binaries.

Perhaps HDF could become supported by "GDAL" raster library,
the r.in.gdal would read it later. Just an idea...

If you cannot compile the r.in.hdf and the HDF3.2 version would
do the job for your, I might send you compiled linux binaries of
this module. Please let me know per personal email.
