Ubuntu – cmake 3.0.2 can’t find boost on 14.04

Try to update your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/hdf5"

Additionally, you can change PATH in your ~/.profile:

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="/usr/local/hdf5:$HOME/bin:$PATH" #this line
fi

This is just a guess; hope to be helpful.
