Shourie,

It sounds like you're trying to compile h5utils from source, which is
unnecessary since Ubuntu has had prebuilt packages for h5utils since
Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06): http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/h5utils

If you insist on compiling h5utils from source, then it looks like you
need to install the libhdf5-serial-dev package (or the appropriate
equivalent if you're trying to use a parallelized version of HDF5),
which contains the header files and other things needed to compile
software using the HDF5 libraries.  See

Cheers,
Elson Liu
