Can't build GNU Octave because of missing/broken hdf5?

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build GNU Octave, but one of the pre-requisites hdf5
seems broken:

--->  Fetching hdf5
--->  Attempting to fetch hdf5-1.6.5.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/
--->  Attempting to fetch hdf5-1.6.5.tar.gz from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/hdf5
--->  Attempting to fetch hdf5-1.6.5.tar.gz from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/general/
--->  Attempting to fetch hdf5-1.6.5.tar.gz from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/hdf5
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: hdf5
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

What should I do to fix it?

Erik
