Hyrax specific configuration
Set up things that are specific to Hyrax
It's best to use as much of the RPM 'ecosystem' as possible because this is what will be on other people's computers; using newer stuff, like the lastest HDF5 library is only going to cause incompatibilities. But to do that for Hyrax, you need to get beyond the stock set of repositories that yum searches. Unfortunatley it looks like Amazon has their own version of the EPEL package and it does not contain HDF or Netcdf binaries...
