Re: pkg: error running the configure script for communications.

Hi Andrew,
Facing same error with 6.1.0 version.

checking for octave/interpreter.h... yes
checking for pkg-config...
/Applications/Octave-6.1.0.app/Contents/Resources/usr/bin//pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for HDF5... no
checking for H5Fopen in -lhdf5... no
configure: error: hdf5 not found

error: pkg: error running the configure script for communications.
error: called from
    configure_make at line 93 column 9
    install at line 196 column 7
    pkg at line 568 column 9
Warm Regards,
Navneet
