I looked at the config.log you sent. The problem is in these lines: > configure:16924: checking for library containing H5Fflush > configure:16955: gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lm -lz >&5 > /tmp/ccT4Rx2z.o: In function `main': > conftest.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `H5Fflush' For some reason, the gcc command is not using the values of CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS so it is not finding hdf5. We need to find out why. Let me suggest the following to start. 1. Just before you do the ./configure command, do these commands. printenv CPPFLAGS printenv LDFLAGS 2. then execute your ./configure command. This way we can be sure that at the point that you execute ./configure your CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS are correct. > > I hope you can help me. > > I am working in a Ubuntu linux 64 bit laptop and my end point is to install > netCDF to work with fortran. > > At the point of my problem I had installed successfully in my /usr/local/: > zlib-1.2.11 > szip-2.1 > hdf5-1.10.1 > > I was on the way of installing netcdf-4.6.1 when at configure I got the > following on the terminal: > >checking for library containing H5Flush ... no > >configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library. > > The config.log is in attachment. > > The commands I used in /usr/local/netcdf-4.6.1 were > >export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/szip/include -I/usr/local/hdf5/include" > >export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/szip/lib -L/usr/local/hdf5/lib" > > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf4 --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-shared > > -disable-dap > > While trying to solve the problem I inserted those above exports in my .bashrc > Then also: > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/hdf5/lib$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" > When I echo $CPPFLAGS and $LDFLAGS and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH it gives the expected > answer. > > I looked for libdll libraries: > locate libdl > /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl-2.23.so<https://hes32-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2flibdl%2d2.23.so&umid=aa875865-e83d-4ad9-8791-e80d6006373e&auth=e546e52f10731554f25104dd08f6a3f4f6ef6894-48b8dffb4e38e5b821497603a696bb70cdce557c> > /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 > /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl-2.23.so<https://hes32-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2flibdl%2d2.23.so&umid=aa875865-e83d-4ad9-8791-e80d6006373e&auth=e546e52f10731554f25104dd08f6a3f4f6ef6894-48b8dffb4e38e5b821497603a696bb70cdce557c> > /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libdlgprovlo.so > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.a > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so > > I looked if H5Fflush is defined: > gss@gsslap2:/usr/local/hdf5/lib$ nm libhdf5.so |fgrep H5Fflush > 00000000000e9b50 T H5Fflush > > > So now I am without direction.
