It seems to me that you are having problems with HDF5/SZIP binaries too. I know little about these binaries and Mac OSX intricacies, so I'd suggest to ask in the HDF5 list which is over here: http://mail.hdfgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/hdf-forum_hdfgroup.org Cheers, -- Francesc Alted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
