R help - May 1999 - HDF5 support in R

Has anyone succeeded in using HDF5 in R?

Using Solaris R version 0.64.0:

1) R was configured in this way:

  cd /home/westley/R/R-0.64.0
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/westley/HDF/lib
  ./configure \
     --prefix=/home/westley/R \
     --with-g77=/usr/calspan/gnu/bin/g77 \
     --x-lib=/usr/openwin/lib \
     --with-hdf5-libs=/home/westley/HDF/lib

2) But, when I attempt to load an HDF file, I get this message:

   Error in hdf5load(file, load) : HDF5 support unavailable

R doesn't have this configure option.  However, if you pass
LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to configure, you can get the same effect:

CPPFLAGS=-I$HOME/HDF/include LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/HDF/lib ./configure
