Wow. There's no way I would have found that and why I couldn't find
anything in freecad source to deal with it.

And it builds and runs!! Fabulous. Thank you!

I'll take a look at hdf5 but I doubt I can determine what to do.  I retired
and quit coding almost 25 years ago and while I was comfortable with using
configure to build systems back then, everything was far, far simpler than
today. I just get lost and frustrated with trying to do much in pkgsrc now
so I really appreciate you working on this stuff.

Now I need to figure out how to get my Radeon card to work properly again.
It worked perfectly a couple of years ago but with newer versions the display
gets corrupted with trash with certain programs, Expecially kicad, mpv and
now freecad. :^( Neither cad programs are usable due to the screen trash.
I'll try to figure how to get the card working once again.

Thanks Again!!
