Hi,
I am trying to use the new dynamically loaded filter plugin feature in
1.8.11-pre2 by adding the filter information to an existing library:
U H5Oexists_by_name
U H5Oget_info_by_name
U H5Oopen
000000000003ec86 T H5PLget_plugin_info
000000000003ec80 T H5PLget_plugin_type
U H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g
U H5P_CLS_FILE_ACCESS_g
U H5Pclose
[partial output from using 'nm' on my shared object which should be used as a
filter]
I have found that I need to manually register the plugin with 'H5Zregister' in
order to use it to write data. This appears to work - producing files of the
expected size in a believable amount of time - but won't allow the files to be
read with any program that that doesn't explicitly load the filter, such as
'h5dump'. I have not written any code to read the file through this filter, so
have not verified that any data is actually being written. Without manually
registering the filter I get the following errors when trying to set a custom
filter using 'H5Pset_filter':
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.11-pre2) thread 0:

After reading through 'HDF5DynamicallyLoadedFilters.pdf' I have attempted to
set the environment variable 'HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH' to the appropriate value for my
plugin library (the directory containing the shared object), but this only
changes the error messages in the output of h5dump:

[errors from 'h5dump' with or without the environment variable]
I have not been able to attempt to put the plugin library in
'/usr/local/hdf5/lib/plugin' due to insufficient permissions.
I also get the following errors from the plugin test, when executed as
'./plugin' from within the 'test' directory:

[errors from first failing plugin test]
These errors are the first to occur, and happen with both sets of file format
tests ('new' and 'old'). There are some further errors which appear to be due
to issues closing files.
I would like to know if this is a minor configuration error on my part (and if
so, how to fix it), or a legitimate bug in the library.
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9, with v 2.6.18-348.4.1.el5 of the linux
kernel.
Thanks.
