Ok, I missed the meaning. Thanks.

I thought that the output of ./configure, which is this:

checking jhdf5... /usr/local/src/Scilab/scilab-master-1286272063/thirdparty/jhdf5.jar
checking for h5JNIFatalError in -ljhdf5... yes
checking minimal version (1.8.4) of hdf5... configure: error: Wrong version of hdf5. Expected at least 1.8.4. Found 

was saying that it _did_ find the lib but it is the wrong version.

Also, 

  locate libjhdf5.so

returns

/usr/local/lib64/libjhdf5.so

which is out of

   prerequirements-scilab-5.3.0-beta-4-x86_64-src.tar.gz

that I moved to /usr/local/lib64 so that ./configure would see it.  (I
did add /usr/local/lib64 to /etc/ld.so.conf and I did `ldconfig' before
doing ./configure.  Evidently it's not being seen.
