Im trying to install syrthes4, which I just downloaded from the website. Installation finishes (have to correct hdf5 lib64->lib) but I can't compile the tools needed to convert MED/UNVetc to .syr:
We have encountered similar issues in the past (on SUSE SLES systems if I remember correctly), but not recently, so it seemed changes we had made were sufficient.
This depends on the OS, its default search paths, and possibly (for the latter), the fact that multilibs or possibly matching defaults are installed or not.
You did not mention your OS, so I can't say guess at much more.
