I answer to my own message to say - for the records - that I have managed to complete the installation. For what regards the linking to the static libraries, moreover, I realized that some environment variables that I was using to point to the HDF5 libraries pointed specifically to the static version, so I eliminated these more specific references. The further step that solved the problem was to move all of the HDF5 libraries from their installation directory (on which I don't have write permission) to a subdirectory of my home directory and then point the linker to it; this got the message that involved the .libs directory disappear. I guess from this that the Meep installation procedure needs write permission not only on the installation directory but also on the directories where the libraries reside. If anyone could confirm or deny this, it would be good. Moreover if still someone would be willing to explain me why I am not able to tell Meep that it must compile with static libraries, it would also be good. The configure line that I used is: ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/home/cluster/pr26he/lu64qig/install/include -I/lrz/sys/libraries/hdf5/1.6.10_serial/include" LDFLAGS="-L/home/cluster/pr26he/lu64qig/install/lib" --with-libctl=/home/cluster/pr26he/lu64qig/install/share/libctl/ --prefix=/home/cluster/pr26he/lu64qig/install --enable-static --disable-shared I have tried, I believe, all of the combinations of --enable-static --disable-shared but never got the program to compile itself with static libraries.
