libhdf5_hl.100.so

I’m a vintage (60-year-old) Linux enthusiast, passionate about science and technology. Recently, I found a nice piece of hardware in the trash — a Compaq 2510p (HP branded, 32-bit). Oh my! People must be out of their minds... I rescued it from the rubbish bin, discovered it had 2 GB of RAM, cleaned it up, and successfully installed the rolling 32-bit SliTaz distro.

I also installed QCAD, Python3, GIMP, and a few others with great satisfaction. However, I ran into a small issue: I installed Scilab, but it seems there’s a mismatch between the current HDF5 version and the one required by the software (libhdf5_hl.100.so). I tried to fix it using tazpkg, but no luck so far.

Please let me know if anyone has already solved this issue somehow.

Thank you in advance,

Bruno (Italy)

Re: libhdf5_hl.100.so

Hello,

I guess [c]hdf5[/c] is installed.

Maybe creating a symlink could help. From a root terminal

[c]cd /usr/lib
ln -s libhdf5_hl.so libhdf5_hl.100.so[/c]

Hello Ceel, thank you for your help. It works. I had to do it with libhdf.so.103 too. Now scilab without GUI starts. Thak you again. Bruno
