octave with support for hdf5

[John Sanabria]

Hi,

I'm interested to compile octave with support for hdf5 file format.
I had installed the hdf5 library in the directory ${HOME}/numeric.

I execute the configure command line as follow:

./configure --with-hdf5="hdf5 -L/home/jas/numeric/lib 
-I/home/jas/numeric/include"

--- snippet output ---
checking for H5Pcreate in -lhdf5 -L/home/jas/numeric/lib 
-I/home/jas/numeric/include... yes
checking hdf5.h usability... no
checking hdf5.h presence... no
checking for hdf5.h... no
--- snippet output ---

and finally,

configure: WARNING: HDF5 library not found.  Octave will not be able to 
save or load HDF5 data files.

:-(, what is the proper parameter for the configure command?

thanks in advance.
