After reading HDF5 and pytables install instructions again, I realize it's my
misunderstanding and the instruction is fine. When I was installing HDF5, I
was suggested a directory like HDF5. So when pytables instruction says it'll
look under /usr/local, I thought it'd look for /usr/local/HDF5. I should have
realized that those two instructions have nothing to do with each other.
Thanks for clarifying.

Well, when the docs say "under" they mean *right under*, i.e. the build
procedure would find ``libhdf5.so`` if it was at ``/usr/local/lib``, but
not at ``/usr/local/some/other/dir/lib``. If you find the original
wording confusing, please suggest a better one, since Francesc and I
aren't native English speakers. ;)
