Hi,

The hdf5-1.8.6-macosx64-shared binary available at

http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/bin/macosx64/hdf5-1.8.6-macosx64-shared.tar.gz

contains hard-coded paths to a particular user's directory, presumably the 
developer who built the binary.  This means that when you try to run an 
executable which is linked against this installation on your own machine, you 
get an error message.  A workaround is to use the statically linked version 
which doesn't suffer from this problem.

Steps to reproduce:

wget 
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/bin/macosx64/hdf5-1.8.6-macosx64-shared.tar.gz

tar xfz hdf5-1.8.6-macosx64-shared.tar.gz

cat >testhdf5.c
#include "hdf5.h"

int main()
{
  H5Fcreate("test.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT);
  return 0;
}
^D

gcc -o testhdf5 -Ihdf5-1.8.6-macosx64-shared/include -lhdf5 -lsz -lz 
-Lhdf5-1.8.6-macosx64-shared/lib testhdf5.c

Also, the h5cc script in the bin directory seems to use this user's home 
directory as a default location where it will look for HDF5, which probably 
isn't correct.
