Make sure you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the library directory containing the 
installed HDF5 library,
rather than "LD_LIBRRY_BATH" (which may have been just a typo).

You also have to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS before running the configure script.  
For example,
if H5DIR is a shell variable specifying the directory in which bin/, lib/, and 
include/ directories
contain HDF5 installed files, then your configure invocation should have 
something like:

  CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include" LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib" ./configure ... [other 
configure options]

If this works OK, you usually don't need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running 
make check install,
as configure builds the Makefiles to contain that information.
