Linux installation problems

[Ray Osborn]

A couple of people told me they were having problems linking the NeXus API
on Linux.  Nick and Przemek thought it might be a problem with using an old
HDF version.  When I tried it for myself, I got the same error messages:

% cc -c -I/usr/local/hdf/include napi.c

I'm pretty sure that the HDF version is 4.1r1 though the C header files say
v 1.57 (what does that mean?).  Any thoughts?
