Repast HPC Not Installing correctly on UBUNTU

Question

When installing the netcdf the following error occurs using the installation script.

configure: error: Can't find or link to the z library. Turn off netCDF-4 and      opendap with --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap, or see config.log for errors.

Any help massively appreciated.

Answer 1

Check if libhdf5-dev is installed with dpkg -L libhdf5-dev. If it isn't try installing it with with apt-get install libhdf5-dev and running the netcdf installation again.
