Hello, 

I am a new user with a basic question regarding specifying the directory 
location for a file that I would like to create.

I have an existing Fortran code that is currently setup to use the FITS 
libraries for I/O, and I'm trying to get it setup so that HDF5 can 
alternatively be used for I/O.  

The subroutine I have for creating and writing to an HDF5 file seems to work 
fine when trying to write out a file to the current directory, but it runs into 
problems when trying to specify a more complex path for the file creation.  

As an example, 


call h5fcreate_f('file.h5',H5F_ACC_TRUNC_F,fid,error)


seems to work just fine in creating the desired file 'file.h5' in the current 
directory.  However, 

call h5fcreate_f('/work/file.h5',H5F_ACC_TRUNC_F,fid,error)


runs into problems.  It does create a file 'file.h5' in directory '/work', 
however, it returns errors and the file is empty.  I have pasted below the 
errors that are returned in the *.o file

Thanks!
