runtime filter errors on ubuntu?

I am trying run some compiled hdf5 code and getting the following runtime
error on ubuntu 12.04

2: HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.4-patch1) thread 140192456861504:
22: #000: ../../../src/H5Z.c line 1273 in H5Zget_filter_info(): Filter
not defined
22: major: Invalid arguments to routine
22: minor: Bad value
22: #001: ../../../src/H5Z.c line 923 in H5Z_find(): required filter is
not registered
22: major: Data filters
22: minor: Object not found

I have installed all the hdf5 deb packages I thought might be required. My
guess is that something is still missing (Zlib). Any suggestions what and
how to install in addition?
