error is

ld: library not found for -lhdf5_hl

but I see you have "hdf5-18 1.8.17_0" installed.

port search hdf5 shows

hdf5 @1.10.0-patch1 (science)
    HDF5 general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data

hdf5-18 @1.8.17 (science)
    HDF5 general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data

that's a bit odd. I know nothing about this port, but a missing library is a missing library. Do you have the library? locate hdf5_hl or perhaps ls -la /opt/local/lib/libhdf*

If not, perhaps you need that other hdf5 install, or perhaps you don't have the +hl variant installed (which it seems to be looking for)? port -v installed | grep hdf5 will show you what you have already.

If you do have the library, but it won't use it, that's another entire matter.

Hope this helps get you started.

This occurs because the hdf5-18 port installs into /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18, but this directory is not added to the linker options by the port file for gmt4. hdf5-18 is a dependency of gmt via netcdf with the +netcdf4 variant.

I noticed this issue when upgrading to Sierra and installed in the order gmt4, gmt5, which did not install hdf5 first. GMT seems to link to hdf5 fine and I haven't been able to find any problems with this.

I guess the correct fix is to add linker commands to point to /opt/local/lib/hdf5-18, though I could only speculate why netcdf +netcdf4 necessarily has to use hdf5-18. A current workaround is to just install hdf5 first.
