Hello Roger,
Thanks for the report.

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the HDF5 code, and not the change
of Autoconf version. Autoconf itself does not provide a test for tr at
all. Looking at
<ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.6.5-RELEASE.txt>, it is
stated that:

Consequently, I assume that you should get things to work with
./configure TR=/usr/xpg4/bin/tr
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
