Hi guys, I have good news! I had unusual problems installing other things, so I decided to reinstall OSX. Then I installed python from python.org with the .dmg installer, then numpy, then hdf5 into /usr/local, and then easy_install tables worked perfectly. I ran tables.test() and it passed.
I don't know what the problem was, but probably a result of not installing hdf5 into /usr/local at first. Now I'll probably need to install tables onto some linux clusters. Hopefully that goes smoother! Thanks for your help.
