Hi, There are a number of things to consider before compiling. What compression you'll use: zlib or szlib Will you program parallel hdf on parallel file systems (e.g. GPFS, lustre, etc.). If so which and which MPI Will you use c++. Will you use fortran. python. And separately java Does the rest of your build need the -fPIC compiler flag(I'm unfamiliar with PGI) after unzipping 1.8.5 in its directory at the command line type: ./configure --help to see more options. If you aren't as command line oriented, make a little build script (i.e. build hdf5.sh with a text editor such as gedit on your system) in the 1.8.5 directory and experiment with build in it (this script is the same as command line but keeps them where you can modify and remember). If you have a linux file browser browsed to this 1.8.5 folder and you right click and set the permissions to execute you can then just double click every time you want to attempt another build. The paths to zlib and openmpi are dependency libraries I chose for my build of hdf5. And of course the ./release\_docs of hdf5 are many more examples for different systems and compilers ---------typical build script for openpmi and parallel----------- #!/bin/bash function pause(){     read -n 1 -p "Press any key to continue..." } OPENMPI\_PATH=/home/roger/Software/openmpi-1.5/dist export FC=gfortran export CC=$OPENMPI\_PATH/bin/mpicc export CXX=$OPENMPI\_PATH/bin/mpic++ export LDFLAGS=-fPIC -L$OPENMPI\_PATH/lib -L$OPENMPI\_PATH/lib/openmpi -lmpi -lmpi\_cxx -lopen-pal export CFLAGS=-fPIC -I$OPENMPI\_PATH/include export CPPFLAGS=-fPIC -I$OPENMPI\_PATH/include export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC -I$OPENMPI\_PATH/include export MKLROOT=/share/apps/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035 export LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH=$MKLROOT/lib/em64t:$OPENMPI\_PATH/lib:/lib64:/usr/lib64:/lib:/home/roger/sourceforge/zlib-1.2.4/dist/lib:$LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH #open next line to clean up and restart building again make clean ./configure --prefix=/home/roger/Software/hdf5-1.8.6-pre2/dist --disable-fortran --enable-parallel --with-zlib=/home/roger/sourceforge/zlib-1.2.4/dist --without-szlib --enable-shared=yes --enable-static=yes --with-python=yes make make check make install cd examples make cd .. #./configure --help pause > **···** > > -------------------- > > If you list more specifics this could be adjusted accordingly > > On 12/21/2010 06:38 AM, kailasam muni krishna wrote: > > > Dear users, > > > > I want to install "hdf latest version" in my RedHat linux Enterprise Version 5.0 in my HP Proliant ML 110 server.
