Installing h4h5Tools on linux

Hi,

I hope someone can help, I'm new to Linux and struggling to install
h4th5tools.

I have downloaded and unzipped hdf4, hdf5 and h4h5tools from this page
http://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/ and have been, unsuccessfully, trying to
compile it on my machine using the following script

CC=/home/defriez/h4h5Tools/hdf-4.2.9-linux-x86_64/bin/h4cc

./configure CC=/hdf4/bin/h4cc
--with-hdf5=/home/defriez/h4h5Tools/hdf5-1.8.10-linux-x86_64-static/lib

but I keep getting the following error -bash: ./configure: No such file or
directory

am I missing something?

Sorry for this question but I am really stuck, any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Emma

Hello Emma,

I am not able to tell which h4h5tools software you downloaded.

Did you download the h4h5tools source code or binary?

There is a 'configure' file in the source code (h4h5tools-2.2.1) but
not in the binary (eg. h4h5tools-2.2.1-linux-x86_64-static), as the
binary includes the already built h4h5tools binary distribution (library, include files, tools).

If you did download the source code (h4h5tools-2.2.1) and the configure file is there, then are you able to specify "./" preceding *any* executable (outside of h4h5tools)?

In the past I have seen similar issues caused by not having a "."
specified in the PATH environment variable. For example, the
PATH variable might look like this:

    "/xxx/yyy:.:/zzz"

I had downloaded the binary, and the PATH variable was wrong. I've fixed that
and it's working now.

Thank you!
Emma
