Two questions:
* which is the HDF5 version: 1.6.x or 1.8.x?
* do you have a C compiler installed?

I recently released debian packages for amd64:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pytables/files/pytables/2.3.1/

why don't you give it a try?

You could try to install pytables manually from the source tarball
without using pip or similar:

$ python setup.py install

or, if you are not in a virtual env

$ python setup.py install --prefix=<INSTALL_PREFIX>

Please also ensure that you have cython correctly installed.
