Hi, I just tried to install pytables 2.2.1 from source;
I did python setup.py build_ext --inplace --hdf5=python setup.py install --hdf5=~/lib/hdf5/ --lflags="-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker ~/lib/hdf5/lib then, python setup.py install tests ran successfully when started from the root directory of the distributed tarball, but not from my python install; in fact "import tables" failed after install, with a message about a missing symbol in linkExtension.so. I checked setup.py, and found a place where it says CFLAGS.append("-DH5_USE_16_API") in the case of using hdf5 1.8 (as in my case) When changing this to CFLAGS.append("-DH5_USE_18_API") I am able to install and import tables. Is this a bug in setup.py? N. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
