Howdy Huaiyu!

Did you try setting the HDF5-1.8.4 directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, before 
the /usr/lib entry (if there is one)?

I cannot reproduce your problem. I have installed HDF5-1.6.6 in /usr/lib, and 
HDF5-1.8.4 somewhere else, and everything works fine for me for both shared and 
static builds.

Did you do a make clean and rerun configure? 

Can you try a static build? (Without --enable-shared). For this you may also 
want build HDF5 statically.

Thanks,

Ed


To see if this is a shared library problem
