It is what I meant.

If the file is available, are you sure it is the right on architecture ?
(ie, libhdf5 is 32 bits for a 32 bits arch).
You can know that with the command file.

Anyway, to get the real error message which was causing the configure to
fail, have a look in the config.log. At the end, you will find the error
on the jhdf5 check.
