Re: HDF4 requirement for PyNIO

Dave,

I think the documentation is incorrect. As of PyNIO 1.4.1, HDF-4 should be optional.

In fact, I think by default the HDF-4 interface won't get built unless you set the HAS_HDF4 envrionment variable to 1.

I'll update the docs.

I'm asking because I'm having some problems with HDF4 and netCDF on my OS 10.7.2 Mac and the only reason I'm including HDF4 in my build chain is because the INSTALL file says it's non-optional. According to The HDF Group, HDF4 is not yet supported (or at least tested) on 10.7 and they don't have a timeline for it (nor do they know when HDF5 will be officially tested!). I need a problem-free install of netCDF sooner than later (now would be nice), but I don't want to introduce PyNIO problems by not installing HDF4.
