Hello, From the test-suite.log you provided, I see the following: ---- FAIL: tst_h_scalar ================== HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.4-patch1) thread 47823110266816: #000: ../../../src/H5T.c line 1595 in H5Tcreate(): unable to create type major: Datatype minor: Unable to initialize object #001: ../../../src/H5T.c line 2970 in H5T_create(): type class is not appropriate - use H5Tcopy() major: Datatype minor: Feature is unsupported *** Create file with datasets & attributes that have scalar dataspaces...Sorry! Unexpected result, tst_h_scalar.c, line: 123 ---- It appears that, in addition to HDF5.1.8.13, you have an older HDF5 install, version 1.8.4-patch1, that is being picked up at runtime. You will need to uninstall this older version, or move it to a location off the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
