Our issue is that we basically rely on PETSc to build most of the compiled dependencies, and hence if PETSc was built with --with-hdf5-dir=... (rather than --download-hdf5) we don't find it.
Why doesn't this work? PETSc knows where HDF5 is, no matter how it is specified, and you can query it from Python.
How do I do this? I thought it was only possible by parsing the output of "make info". Thanks, Lawrence
