hdfeos5 @1.15_13 configure failure with hdf5-18

[almage (Roy Miller)]

hdfeos5 fails to configure. It appears that an attempt has been made to change the dependence from hdf5-18 to hdf5. A very worthy goal, in my opinion! However, in the configure script, it is still looking for "/opt/local/lib/hdf5-18/bin/", which does not exist if hdf5-18 is not installed.

The relevant part of the config.log file starts here:

configure:2633: checking for style of include used by make
configure:2661: result: GNU
configure:2734: checking for gcc
configure:2761: result: /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18/bin/h5cc
configure:2999: checking for C compiler version
configure:3006: /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18/bin/h5cc --version >&5
./configure: line 3007: /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18/bin/h5cc: No such file or directory
configure:3009: $? = 127
configure:3016: /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18/bin/h5cc -v >&5
./configure: line 3017: /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18/bin/h5cc: No such file or directory
configure:3019: $? = 127

The entire config.log file is attached.

I've been able to successfully install hdfeos5 @1.15.12 by pulling down the Portfile and creating a local source by modifying the file "/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf". This version of hdfeos5 still depends upon hdf5-18, both of which were successfully installed.

Please don't let this deter you from the goal of converting to hdf5 as a dependency. I fully support that goal.
