That makes a lot of sense, and that's why it's a warning not fatal error.
However, I cannot get the runtime library (libhdf5.so.5?) when running my
program even I set the LD path environments. I even copied libhdf5.so.5 to
/usr/local/lib and still no success. I think I'm going to rebuild pytables,
thinking it probably got some unusual path when I first built it. Thanks for
the help!

The setup script only looks for dynamic (runtime) libraries in the
default locations under Unix-like systems. They aren't really needed
during compilation, so the warning is just an indication that you *may*
have problems when *running* a program using PyTables.
The way to avoid runtime problems depends on your system. For instance,
under GNU/linux you should set the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable to
include ``/usr/local/hdf5/lib``. In fact, if you set it *before*
building, the path gets harcoded into the generated libraries so you no
longer need the variable.
So, regardless of the warning message, are you actually having problems
*running* your PyTables-based application?
