That's really a question for address@hidden, but it looks to me as if
you downloaded the "Distribution containing Windows line endings" and tried
to run the configure script on a Unix system.  I just tried running the 
configure script from one of the "Distributions containing Unix line endings"
at

  http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtainsrc.html

and it worked fine.

Sorry, we don't have the resources to investigate the answers to questions
like that, but I'm pretty sure it can't be good ... :-)
