how to use hdf5 with bzip2 filter

Hdf-forum archives
1

I can't find any info on this.

  * How do I build hdf5 libs, or link, so that the bzip2 filter is
    available?
  * Can I check for filter availability with H5Z.filter_avail('BZIP2') ?

Thanks,
Andy

Andrew,

bzip2 is not one of the HDF5 predefined filters, but it is available with PyTables. Pleases see http://www.hdfgroup.org/services/filters.html for more information.

Here is a link to the old papers on BZIP2 and the source code that shows how to integrate it with HDF5 http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/papers/papers/bzip2/
