Re: octave compiling problem

[Mag Gam]

Thanks for the quick response John.

./configure --prefix=/apps/octave-3.2.4 F77=gfortran
CPPFLAGS=-I/apps/hdf5-1.8.3/include LDFLAGS=-I/apps/hdf5-1.8.3/lib

This does not work.


In my config.log

...
configure:8107: $? = 0
configure:8107: result: yes
configure:8107: checking for zlib.h
configure:8107: result: yes
configure:8151: checking for H5Pcreate in -lhdf5
configure:8176: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/apps/hdf5-1.8.3/include
-I/apps/hdf5-1.8.3/lib conftest.c -lhdf5  -lz -lm  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:8176: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
...


Any ideas?

I spend several hours to figure this out.
