Orion,

While searching for probable causes of hdf5.h being in your /usr/include
without H5pubconf.h (it is required by hdf5.h), I came across some
patches in fedora 11 cvs that you have made to hdf5 code. Is it possible
that your system has a bad hdf5 install?

I plan on submitting the fix to check for existence, but I'd really like
to know the circumstances that lead to hdf5.h existing while H5pubconf.h
does not exist.


multi-arch compatibility. H5pubconf.h is different for 32-bit and
64-bit builds of hdf5. So, we make H5pubconf-32.h and H5pubconf-64.h
and include the appropriate one as needed in H5public.h. As I
understand it, no one should be including H5pubconf.h directly.


Agreed, but the find module uses H5pubconf.h to determine if the found
HDF5 install is serial or parallel. If I can't find the file, then I
guess the value will need to default to serial. Do you believe this is
acceptable behavior?

It's probably safe. I can also probably change the hdf5 package to also use alternatives for H5pubconf.h so that it can be checked.
