Got it.
	set( ENV{HDF5_ROOT} <path> )

I have a question about the static library option.  I did:
	set( HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES 1 )

which should trigger linkage with static libraries, right?  But what I  
see in the link line is:

> /usr/lib/libz.dylib /usr/lib/libm.dylib /jcs/apps/hdf5_serial/lib/ 
> libhdf5_cpp.dylib /usr/lib/libz.dylib /usr/lib/libm.dylib /jcs/apps/ 
> hdf5_serial/lib/libhdf5_cpp.dylib


FYI in the configure step the static libs are found, i.e.,
> -- Found HDF5: debug;/jcs/apps/hdf5_serial/lib/libhdf5_cpp.a;/usr/ 
> lib/libz.dylib;/usr/lib/libm.dylib;optimized;/jcs/apps/hdf5_serial/

Any tips on getting the static library linkage working?
