While setting NetCDF library, running the command
./configure --prefix=$DIR/netcdf --disable-dap
--disable-netcdf-4 --disable-shared
I am getting,
configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library. Use --disable-netcdf-4, or see config.log for errors.
How to resolve this??
Hello,
The error message suggests that the NetCDF library cannot find or link to the HDF5 library. To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
Ensure that the HDF5 library is installed on your system. You can check if it is installed by running the following command in your terminal:
hdf5-config --version
If the command returns a version number, it means HDF5 is installed. If it is not installed, you will need to install it before proceeding. Refer to the HDF5 documentation or your operating system's package manager for installation instructions.

If HDF5 is installed, it is possible that the library's location is not being properly detected by the NetCDF configuration script. In this case, you can try specifying the location explicitly by adding the --with-hdf5 option to the configure command. Replace <HDF5_DIR> with the actual path to the HDF5 installation directory:
./configure --prefix=$DIR/netcdf --disable-dap --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-shared --with-hdf5=<HDF5_DIR>
For example, if HDF5 is installed in the "/usr/local/hdf5" directory, the command would be:
./configure --prefix=$DIR/netcdf --disable-dap --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-shared --with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5
After specifying the HDF5 location, run the ./configure command again. This should enable the NetCDF library to find and link to the HDF5 library correctly.
If the issue persists, you may want to check the config.log file mentioned in the error message for more detailed error information. It can provide insights into why the HDF5 library is not being detected properly. I hope this helps you.
