The advice to focus more closely on the setup.py was helpful and the initial
problem was simply that the --hdf5='/usr/local/hdf5' needed an equal sign.
But, I am still not sure that the correct libraries are being used. The
following error appears when opening the hdf file in my python script -
Warning! ***HDF5 library version mismatched error***
The HDF5 header files used to compile this application do not match
the version used by the HDF5 library to which this application is linked.
Data corruption or segmentation faults may occur if the application
continues.
This can happen when an application was compiled by one version of HDF5 but
linked with a different version of static or shared HDF5 library.
You should recompile the application or check your shared library related
settings such as 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
You can, at your own risk, disable this warning by setting the environment
variable 'HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK' to a value of '1'.
So, it's not clear that the HDF is installed appropriately. I did set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH which does appear to have any impact.
Thanks,
Todd
