<p class="MsoNormal">I have read the instructions in README and the part is below.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) There is no file called autogen.sh. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is a file called autoversion.sh. However to use it, I have to do:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">. ./autoversion.sh<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) There is no file called ./make. To make I have to do:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">make<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that there is no need to be root to make this work, but either way, I received lots of warnings, and nothing useful. I gave up after an hour of trying lots of different things in the hope that something would work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is hardly encouraging!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This was the final warning. Why the installer is looking in /mnt/hdf5 I do not know. There is no such directory on my computer.<o:p></o:p></p>
