Cactus can build the libraries for you automatically.  All you have to do is enable the thorn ExternalLibraries/HDF5 and set HDF5 = BUILD in your optionlist.  HDF5 will be built as part of your normal Cactus build process.

If you want to build HDF5 yourself, you don't need to use mpicc or mpif90 compilers.  You can just use your standard compiler.  You will need to enable at least Fortran support in your build as the Einstein Toolkit requires this.  You may as well include C++ as well, though there is a way to bypass this requirement.
