Since something's unhappy in my mailer, let's see if this one goes out.
Note, it's in response to 2 separate messages on this thread. Apologies for
any inconvenience.
Orion: I've seen different, and usually older, flavors of HDF5 included
with EPEL
for years, as well as RPMs for Netcdf. However, they are always to be
considered contributed and likely to have problems, as they're often not
prepared by the folks who know the code the best.
Carly: A couple of points. First, you're using a pretty old flavor of
CentOS. I've moved as much of my infrastructure as can run current kernels
to either Centos 6 or Scientific Linux 6. I'd recommend you consider a
similar move, for all the reasons, such as improved performance and
security, as your environment can allow.
Also: I note that this site (http://pkgs.repoforge.org/hdf5/) appears to
have HDF5 and HFD5-devel packages. I can't verify that repoforge has ANY
ties to the HDF group, however. The HDF group's site for current RPMs is at
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/bin/RPMS/index.html.
I'm not sure who your vendor is, but you do have a very old flavor of HDF5
installed. Attempting to compile newer code from someone else, I'd expect I
would have to have updated all components to current code, unless
documentation told me otherwise. Sub-release versioning on the HDF group
site appear to have later code than the repoforge site.
Regards,
Gerry
