It looks like your HDF5 library is installed as a static rather than shared 
library, and it needs "-ldl" to find the dynamic linking loader functions.

You could define LIBS=-ldl before running configure to see if that solves
the problem.

Another possible solution is to build and install the HDF5 library as a shared
library, rather than just a static library.

Please let us know if one or the other of these solutions don't work.
