 while trying to use a HDF5 version 1.9 with --with-hdf5 configure issues
 an error

 configure: WARNING: The HDF 5 installation has not the right version
 (1.9.81-FA_a5). You need at least 1.6

 HDF5 support:  no
                 found version 1.9.81-FA_a5 (1.9.81-FA_a5)

 This is because of this check in configure.ac

 if test "$H5ROOT"; then
     H5VERSION=`grep H5_VERS_INFO ${H5ROOT}/include/H5public.h | cut -d '"'
 -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 4`
     case $H5VERSION in
         1.[[68]]*)

 Solution:

 change to

  case $H5VERSION in
         1.[[689]]*)
