I already installed HDF5
to /usr/local/hdf5/
but I'm still getting the same error. I'm a new to Python so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
You might need to set the HDF5_DIR environment variable to the location where you install HDF5; it's looking in the standard install paths and not finding the headers for HDF5 - hence at least one of your errors.
You can simply set it before calling pip:
HDF5_DIR=/usr/local/hdf5 pip install netCDF4
or export it and then call pip:
export HDF5_DIR=/usr/local/hdf5
pip install netCDF4
