[hdf-forum] HDF 5 1.8.1 on Ubuntu 8.0.4

[Richard van Hees]

Hi,

As far as I know (and I run Ubuntu) none of the problems you mention are 
related to Ubuntu.

To fix some known problems with h5dump and h5ls, I would advice you to 
download and install the latest snapshot of hdf5-1.8.1

hdfview only supports hdf5-files created with version 1.6.7 or earlier.

Best regards, Richard
