Hello everyone,
Our first attempt at an HDF5 v1.8.4 rpm is now available at ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots/RPMS/v18, either hdf5-1.8.4.snap19-1.el5.i386.rpm or hdf5-1.8.4.snap19-1.el5.x86_64.rpm. They install in /usr by default, but are relocatable. There are also szip v2.1 rpms available in ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots/RPMS. The hdf5 rpms require szip, zlib, and zlib-devel packages. There is one problem that we need to fix, but the README file in the v18 directory provides a workaround. The problem is that the compile scripts, h5cc, h5fc and h5c++, in the rpm have a block of three lines that will be correct if installed in the default /usr/bin location, but incorrect if relocated. The three replacement lines and instructions as to where to put them are at the bottom of the README file. We plan to add rpms for each weekly snapshot until we have a release candidate, and hope to have an official 1.8.5 rpm at or soon after the time of the 1.8.5 release. The rpms have been tested on 32 and 64 bit rhel5 and fedora core 8 linux for root and non-root install. Please let us know if anything doesn't work or conform to your expectations for rpm files. Thanks! Larry Knox The HDF Group
