[clip] It seems that you have fallen into the same issue than everybody trying to use the newest version of HDF5 (1.8.3). Short story: they changed the API from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3 and public releases of PyTables needs to be patched and recompiled in order to adapt to the new API. Or, you can use HDF5 1.8.2. Another option is to use the subversion repository of PyTables, where the patch has already been applied.
