[zilesazoyi2]

Thanks for you code ! i meet this error ,could you give me some advice ??

sun@sunwin:~/torch-hdf5$ luarocks make hdf5-0-0.rockspec LIBHDF5_LIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/"
cmake -E make_directory build;
cd build;
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/home/sun/torch/install/bin/.." -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/home/sun/torch/install/lib/luarocks/rocks/hdf5/0-0";
make

I have installed hdf5 1.8.18 in my home and add to ~/.bashrc!!

export PATH=$PATH:/home/sun/hdf5-1.8.18/hdf5

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/hdf5"

export HDF5_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/hdf5/include/"

export HDF5_LIBRARIES="/usr/local/hdf5/lib/"

anyone who meet some problem? thanks for you kindness Ｏ（∩＿∩）Ｏ

I encountered a similar problem, after I manually deleted all(I think) the files of a older version(1.8.11) of hdf5 and then installed a new one(1.8.18).

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (FIND_PACKAGE):
  By not providing "FindHDF5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "HDF5", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "HDF5" (requested
  version 1.8) with any of the following names:

    HDF5Config.cmake
    hdf5-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "HDF5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "HDF5_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "HDF5"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

I'm not good at compiling hdf5 or using cmake, and it really drives me crazy. The related path are all added into ~/.bashrc.
