Hello, This is a normal failure you would expect to see; configure looks for several different hdf5 libraries, including hdf5dll, and uses the first one it finds. For example, it will also look for libhdf5. So, the failure you are seeing is not in-and-of-itself a problem. What is the larger issue you are seeing? If you provide the `config.log` file generated when you run configure, I would be happy to take a look at it.
