The HDF5 package does not know how to install HDF5 on Linux; it
requires HDF5 to be installed on the system. (This is different e.g.
on Darwin, where it can install its own HDF5 library.) The solution is
to update the HDF5 package to use BinDeps to install HDF5 from source.

Installing HDF5 is just the usual "configure --prefix=somewhere; make;
make install", so that should be straightforward. Unfortunately I'm
not too familiar with BinDeps, and the documentation doesn't have an
example for installing a package from a tarball. I'd be happy to
create a PR if someone points me to an example, maybe in another
package.
