Hello, I can't speak as to why h5import did not build/compile. Regarding your initial bug report, I suspect that you need to specify /usr/local/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you run 'make check'. The call would then look as follows: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib make check It is also possible (but I feel less likely) that it is a permission problem; do you have read access for libhdf and libhdf_dl? Please check the permissions and try running make check while specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH and let me know if that works.
