As far as I know, there is no native equivalent of the F90
compilers requested by hdf5's configure program. This
is probably why it is disabled by default. (You can quickly
hack graphics/hdf5/Makefile to include the cofigure option
'--enable-fortran' to check this.)
I know no fortran, so I can't really verify what's f77 versus
f90, but I've read comments stating that 'f77 -ff90' should
compile f90 programs. (No verification and hacking it
directly into the configure program didn't work.)
So far, I was unable to find a free source code distribution
for a f90 compiler, though I imagine it exists somewhere.
There are a number of linux native f90 compilers, but I'm
not sure on run-ability or quality of such a thing.
(One I found:
http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/downloads/forlin.htm )
Maybe some of the others here can suggest an
appropriate program... (Have homework to do,
otherwise, I'd try some more; maybe later...)
About your general questions, and all, try the site listed
in the pkg-descr: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/
Hope you get it working,
Clayton
PS. Please try to break lines at around 80 char.s in the
future (standard for this list).
