Dear Dr. Dietze,

Many thanks for your bug report.

In order to make further progress on this, I suspect that we would need a test case

Barbara Jones at the HDF group pointed me at the discussion of your problem in the HDF Forum mailing list

http://mail.hdfgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/hdf-forum_hdfgroup.org

In this, you give the following test case (corrected for a typo and also to use a variable name that is not an R function).
               -----------------------------

library(hdf5)
 mydata  = 1:10
 hdf5save("test.h5","mydata")

  (exit from R and then re-start R)

library(hdf5)
hdf5load("test.h5")
mydata

             ---------------------------------

On my computer this works exactly as expected, printing
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

Furthermore, running the h5dump utility on the file test.h5 returns the following:

h...@holly:~/wrk/R$ h5dump test.h5
HDF5 "test.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
   DATASET "mydata" {
      DATATYPE  H5T_STD_I32LE
      DATASPACE  SIMPLE { ( 10 ) / ( 10 ) }
      DATA {
      (0): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
      }
   }
}
}

This all looks normal to me, so I think that the problem that you are having may be due to some aspect of your local system. I'm afraid that I can't easily diagnose what is wrong from here.

(I am using R version 2.7.1, version 1.6.7 of the R HDF5 package and HDF5 version 1.6.6 --- these are all what you get with the current stable release of Debian Linux on i386 architecture.)

Sorry that I don't have an immediate fix, but hopefully this info will push you in the right direction.


All the best

Hugh Pumphrey
