I'm using Octave on apple MAC, and getting configure: error: hdf5 not found error message when trying to install package on octave using pkg install -forge communication. Now I can see the hdf5 installed under the homebrew/Celler/ folder. My octave is installed under /opt/homebrew/bin/octave how can I point my octave to find this folder when preforming pkg install ?
It's because hdf5 installed in homebrew folder, so Octave can't read it.
Export hdf5 so Ocatave can locate the HDF5
export HDF5_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Celler/hdf5
Maybe you have different installed hdf5 folder, so make sure put your path not mine
