HDF5 configuration fails on Datura

Issue #1818 closed
Ian Hinder created an issue

With the current ET trunk, I get the following error on a clean build on Datura:


Running configuration script for thorn HDF5: Additional requested language support: Fortran ERROR: ERROR in HDF5 configuration: ERROR: H5pubconf.h not found in

The build then hangs at that point with no further output. This may be related to the recent changes to the HDF5 thorn to factor out common code in external libraries. The error message is one issue, the hanging build is another I think.

    in the HDF5 thorn allows the configuration to proceed.

    I don't have access to Datura. Do you have a little more information? Could you run detect.sh by hand, defining CCTK_HOME beforehand?

    I committed a change that should fix the hang. In another commit I try to fix the code finding the includes for a library location specified with HDF5_DIR.

    In another commit I try to fix the code finding the includes for a library location specified with HDF5_DIR. It might find the library now, depending on how the hdf5 installation was done (can't look myself, but the old code didn't look at all, which was a bug).
