Hi Xunlei,

Binaries for h4toh5 were built with the 1.8.4-patch1 release. Could you please 
use the appropriate binary distribution from the  
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/prev-releases/hdf5-1.8.4-patch1/ directory?

Your file is very simple. The conversion tools should work. Please make sure 
you have zlib installed too since some of the datasets use gzip compression.

Please let us know if you still have problems.

Thank you!

Elena
