Dear all,
  The HDF5 binary package is not available now, so i download the source
package and unzip it. When i check it before building the package, some
errors appeared, see below. I donot think it's related with the R and HDF5
versions. I guess i missed something here.
--Errors--
* installing *source* package 'hdf5' ...
cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected:
C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.2/bin/i386/HDF5~1.RCH/hdf5/libs
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is:
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.2/bin/i386/HDF5~1.RCH/hdf5/libs
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
    http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
cp: cannot stat `/cygdrive/d/Backup/my
documents/hdf5-support/cyghdf5-0.dll': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/cygdrive/d/Backup/my documents/hdf5-support/mgwz.dll': No
such file or directory
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'hdf5'
* removing 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.2/bin/i386/HDF5~1.RCH/hdf5'
---------
 If anybody have some experiences on reading HDF4 and HDF5 datasets
successfully, please also give me more information on this.
  I have searched the R help, and cannot find a solution. Somebody suggest
the rgdal, which seems not to work.
  Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated.
