Issues using HDF5 package

General Usage

I have downloaded the HDF5 package using the “add” command and I have made a small program that currently just reads an HDF5 file and prints some of the data. However I am getting the following error when I try to run the program:

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: libhdf5 not defined

I’m not quite sure what I need to do to fix this issue.

Thanks

Hi, I just had the same error.
I removed the package from Julia Pkg.rm(“HDF5”) and the directory “Zh9on” in .julia\packages\HDF5
then ENV[“CMAKE_JL_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE”] = 1; Pkg.build(“Cmake”)
now Pkg.add(“HDF5”);
using HDF5 should now work

Cheers
