Cannot run C++ Examples, compilation fail, missing files

Hi,

I would like use the C++ API, and as a starting point I am trying to get
the example code to work that was installed into
/usr/share/hdf5_examples/c++

I have:

*Fedora 18
gcc-c++.x86_64 4.7.2-8.fc18
hdf5-1.8.9-5.fc18.x86_64
hdf5-devel-1.8.9-5.fc18.x86_64*

When I try to run

*$ sudo ./run-c++-ex.sh*

I get the following error

*################# create #################
g++: error: /usr/lib64/libhdf5_hl_cpp.a: No such file or directory
g++: error: /usr/lib64/libhdf5_cpp.a: No such file or directory
g++: error: /usr/lib64/libhdf5_hl.a: No such file or directory
g++: error: /usr/lib64/libhdf5.a: No such file or directory
messed up compiling create.cpp
rm: cannot remove ‘*.h5’: No such file or directory*

my /usr/lib64/ contains ($grep libhdf5):

*libhdf5_cpp.so
libhdf5_cpp.so.7
libhdf5_cpp.so.7.0.3
libhdf5_fortran.so
libhdf5_fortran.so.7
libhdf5_fortran.so.7.0.3
libhdf5_hl_cpp.so
libhdf5_hl_cpp.so.7
libhdf5_hl_cpp.so.7.0.3
libhdf5hl_fortran.so
libhdf5hl_fortran.so.7
libhdf5hl_fortran.so.7.0.3
libhdf5_hl.so
libhdf5_hl.so.7
libhdf5_hl.so.7.0.3
libhdf5.settings
libhdf5.so
libhdf5.so.7
libhdf5.so.7.0.3*

I seemingly have all of the required files, except as .so files, not as .a
files

Am I missing any package(s)? is this a configuration issue?

Thankyou in advance,

Mark
