ilab-base dev (singularity) GH action erroring

[cssprad1]

The action that pushes ilab-base dev to sing registry is erroring during the build process.

Steps to reproduce:

• Re-enable the github workflow (https://github.com/nasa-nccs-hpda/ilab-containers/actions/workflows/ilab-base-singularity-dev.yaml)
• Commit change to main branch, it will auto run this action

Possible solutions:

• It seems pyhdf does not recommend to install the package via pip, either conda for build from source
• Other python packages that install these dependencies?
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39157914/install-pyhdf-error-hdf-h-no-such-file-or-directory

Example:

 Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.5 in /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages (from python-dateutil>=2.8.2->pandas) (1.17.0)
WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv
+ pip install pyhdf
