yea..
#include "hdf.h"
#include "dfsd.h"
#include "mfhdf.h"

Im not able to figure out what the problem is.

Hi there,

I'm sorry, but have you included the header file mfhdf.h?

I want to share with you one trick about hdf4. If you are compiling/
linking using both libmfhdf.a and libdf.a, be sure to put "-lmfhdf"
in front of "-ldf" in your command line. If instead you put "-df"
in front of "-lmfhdf", you may get errors like yours.

Please try if this helps for your problem. It took me a while to
figure out this trick. But I still do not know why.

Have I installed hdf4 wrong?

Can't tell for sure from the errors you show. The linker
tells you that a number of hdf4 functions can't be found.
That makes it look a bit as if you don't link against the
required library (if the library wouldn't be installed in
a place the linker is looking for it you would get a com-
plaint about that instead). Does you have something like
'-lhdf4' (if you're on Unix) in the command for linking
the program?
                          Regards, Jens

Please try as Yongsheng Pan suggested:
-lmfhdf -ldf
on the link line.
