headers are from 1.8.14 while .so is from an older version

[Soumith Chintala]

On Trusty, if you install libhdf5-dev out of the box and do the following:

gcc -E /usr/include/hdf5.h |grep H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g

you will see a match.

The version installed is: Version: 1.8.11-5ubuntu7

However, if you see
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/ADGuide/Compatibility_Report/CR_1.8.14.html

The symbol H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g is not introduced till 1.8.14.

The headers being shipped are not corresponding to the .so

Because of this, we are getting linker issues out of the box for some packages built on top of hdf5.

[Gilles Filippini (pini.deb)]

The symbol H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_g *is* present into the 1.8.11 release of hdf5. See (around line 60):
<https://svn.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/hdf5/tags/hdf5-1_8_11/src/H5Ppublic.h>

Please report the actual linker issues you encounter.

Thanks,
