Howdy Mary!

Another user also reported problems building with the HDF5/szip combination.
But it works for me just fine.

Of course, one needs to set the appropriate flags so that the szip library can
be found. This worked for me:

FFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR/lib FCFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR/lib CFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR/lib
CXXFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR CPPFLAGS=-I$HDF5DIR/include LIBS=-lsz ./configure
--enable-netcdf-4 --with-hdf5=$HDF5DIR

(Where $HDF5DIR is a directory that contains both HDF5 and szip).

In fact, this is now part of my nightly testing.

Thanks,

Ed
