Hi all,
I'm quite a beginner with the hdf format, and I'm having some problems with
compressed datasets: when I try to read them, my program aborts. However, I
suppose that the problem is not in my code, but probably something is
missing in my hdf5 library installation: indeed, the kind of data that gives
troubles to my program, gives an error also when I try to read the .h5 file
with h5dump, that shows me all the contents of the file apart from the
compressed data. For example:
/# h5dump new.h5
HDF5 "new.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
DATASET "compressed_data" {
DATATYPE H5T_STD_I32LE
DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 2, 3 ) / ( 2, 3 ) }
DATA {h5dump error: unable to print data
}
}
}
}/
On the other hand, if I open the file with HDFView I can see it properly, so
I think the file is ok.
Another detail probably related to this problem: when I run the example
h5_cmpress.c
(http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/introductory/C/h5_cmprss.c) or
when I try to install the h5check utility I have errors concerning available
filters.
I'm working on a linux platform, but I'm not an expert, so I could have
made some mistakes installing the library, or forgot something... in this
case, I need detailed instructions 
Thanks a lot!
