Hello,

Thank you for contacting us; I'm sure we can get this working for you.

From the `config.log` file you provided, I'm seeing the following error:

````
icc: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-03'
ld: cannot find -lhdf_hl
````

This indicates that, despite the LDFLAGS and LIBS entry, the linker is not able 
to find the libhdf5_hl library.  Actually, I believe the issue may be a typo; I 
see that your LIBS contains '-lhdf_hl'.  I would expect this to be '-lhdf5_hl'; 
note the '5' after 'hdf'.  Try correcting this and let me know if the issue 
persists.

Thanks, have a great day!
