You need to specify the location of the include files using CPPFLAGS
and the library with LDFLAGS, so something like this:

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/apps/hdf5-1.8.2/include LDFLAGS=-I/apps/hdf5-1.8.2/lib

should work if the header files are installed in
/apps/hdf5-1.8.2/include and the libraries are installed in
/apps/hdf5-1.8.2/lib.
