Frank, I followed your advice to check if the driver is in place and you are right. The FWTools I am running do not include HDF5. However, I do not run the FWTools on a Windows machine but on Linux Suse 9. So I was wondering why the Linux version 2.0.6 of the FWTools (according to http://fwtools.maptools.org/ the current release) does not support HDF5?
Thomas, It is just a omission. HDF5 can work fine on linux. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to produce new Linux FWTools releases at this time so I can't easily correct this.
When i was installing the FWTools there is only the install.sh which I used and the README.1ST. In the README.1ST HDF support is mentioned, but something went wrong.
The linux version does support HDF4.
Frank, maybe you can help me out once again! I am also willing to run the FWTools on a Windows machine, but do I have the HDF driver at Windows or do I have to compile the driver on Windows with the VisualStudio archives from the HDF Group?
The FWTools for windows (recent release) already includes HDF5 so you shouldn't need to compile anything if you just wanted to use gdal_translate or other existing tools.
