[netCDFPerl #RAH-648927]: Installing netCDFPerl 1.2.4

Peter,

Actually, the following output:

> dyc002@magpie:~\:> nm -g --print-file-name /usr/local/HDF5/lib/* | grep
> H5Dclose
> /usr/local/HDF5/lib/libhdf5.a:H5D.o:00001190 T H5Dclose

indicates that the H5Dclose() function is defined in the "hdf5" library.  The 
"T" means "text" and refers to that section of a program where CPU instructions 
are stored.

We need to tell the build mechanism to use the HDF5 library when building the 
module.  Try this

1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

3.  Set your environment variable as before.

4.  Ensure that the environment variable LD_NETCDF contains references to both 
the netCDF library and the HDF5 library.  For example

        export LD_NETCDF="-L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -L/usr/local/HDF5/lib 
-lhdf5"

5.  Execute the command "./configure" as before.  Redirect both the standard 
output and standard error streams to the file "configure.log" and send me that 
file if an error occurs.

6.  Execute the command "make" as before.  Redirect both the standard output 
and standard error streams to the file "configure.log" and send me that file if 
an error occurs.
