Thanks, I updated the config file in the repository.

Looks like fedora 30 doesnt find the pkg config file either, however the fallback for trying just the lib hdf5 works and allows it to compile

Has something changed compared to previous versions of Octave or HDF5 that's leading to this error?

The bug summary is wrong. It should have been: "[octave forge] (communications) Failure to detect the HDF5 library"

Could you please change it?

Is it communications or netcdf package? (I guess the latter)

In my Debian system (amd64 architecture, unstable distribution), the communications package fails to build from source due to the absence of the hdf5.pc file:


$ debuild
[…]
checking for hdf5... no
checking for H5Fopen in -lhdf5... no
configure: error: hdf5 not found


In Debian, the available pkgconfig files for HDF5 are the following:

$ apt-file find pkgconfig/hdf5
libhdf5-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/hdf5-serial.pc
libhdf5-mpich-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/hdf5-mpich.pc
libhdf5-openmpi-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/hdf5-openmpi.pc

I am applying the patch attached to this bug report to the Debian package octave-communications. I am not sure that it will be useful for other systems.
