Hi

I am running R version 1.7.1 on SUSE Linux 8.1

I downloaded the tarball and typed:

R CMD INSTALL Bioconductor_1.2.tar.gz

It got so far and then:

* Installing *source* package 'rhdf5' ...
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix...

checking hdf5 in /sw... failed
configure: error: please specify a valid hdf5 installation with --with-hdf5=DIR
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rhdf5'


Any help?  Thanks in advance :-D

Mick
