When trying to install h4toh5 on a Debian system, using:    ./configure CC=/usr/bin/h4cc --with-hdf5=/usr/include/hdf5/serialI have errors such as:    checking for hdf5.h... no    configure: error: cannot find HDF5 header files!The installation instructions note the need to specify the location of the HDF5 library:    HDF5 Library (--with-hdf5=)                                                         The location of HDF5 Library should be specified.    In fact, I don't really understand what is meant by location of HDF5 library ..., Could any one answer by referring to the output of dpkg -L libhdf5-dev command (shown below)? First, I installed the libhdf5-dev library.    cyue@LGGE130:~/Downloads/h4h5tools-2.2.2$ dpkg -l | grep hdf5    ii  hdf5-helpers                          1.8.13+docs-15
