hdf5.h no such file or directory URGENCE

HDF5 Library

Hi!
I’m having a trouble installing a software, SMILEI it is dedicated to plasma simulation.
This software require some dependencies, among them the HDF5 dependency.

I’ve installed it but however I do I got this error :

**younes@user-HP-Pro-3500-Series:/usr/local/smilei/Smilei$ make**
**Compiling src/Checkpoint/Checkpoint.cpp**
**In file included from src/Checkpoint/Checkpoint.cpp:7:**
**src/Checkpoint/Checkpoint.h:13:10: fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file or directory**
**   13 | #include <hdf5.h>**
**      |          ^~~~~~~~**
**compilation terminated.**
**make: *** [makefile:244: build/src/Checkpoint/Checkpoint.o] Error 1**

This is to show you what is going :

any hint is highly appreciated

Have a look at where libhdf5-dev is installed! hdf5.h should sit in the include subfolder. Do you use a command to load these packages, e.g., module load ...? That should update the INCLUDE path for the compiler and the LIBPATH for the linker. Are you using CMake or Autotools?
