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

Also i tried installing HDF5 from macport and saw below message. Do you
know if it's related?

--->  Computing dependencies for hdf5

--->  Deactivating hdf5 @1.12.0_0+cxx+hl+universal

--->  Cleaning hdf5

--->  Activating hdf5 @1.12.0_0+cxx+hl

--->  Cleaning hdf5

--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors

--->  No broken files found.

--->  No broken ports found.

--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:

  hdf5 has the following notes:

    Mac users may need to set the environment variable
"HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING"

    to the five-character string "FALSE" when accessing network mounted
files.

    This is an application run-time setting, not a configure or build
setting.

    Otherwise errors such as "unable to open file" or "HDF5 error" may be

    encountered.



Warm Regards,
Navneet
