Running prebuilt Dakota 6.21 in Linux environment without hdf5

[MadelineLM]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run the prebuilt Dakota 6.21 cli (dakota-6.21.0-public-rhel8.Linux.x86_64-cli) in a Linux environment that only has newer hdf5, and I cannot install an older version of hdf5 that is compatible with Dakota. My use cases aren't actually using hdf5 results_output options, but I am still getting an error while loading shared libraries, stating it cannot find the specified hdf5 shared objects. Is there a way to disable loading hdf5 in a Dakota executable that is compiled with hdf5? I am hoping to avoid needing to compile my own Dakota executable.

Thank you in advance!
